Using U.S. data, this study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on oil price returns within an asset pricing framework. Unlike previous research, a threshold model is employed to account for the possibility that COVID-19 risk may not be significant until it exceeds a certain level. Findings based on WTI crude oil spot price data from January 2020 to December 2021 indicate that oil returns decline significantly with the daily number of COVID-19 deaths, but only if the daily death toll surpasses around 2100. Furthermore, a more severe COVID-19 outbreak can greatly increase the exposure of oil returns to various systematic risk factors, a phenomenon not previously documented in the literature.
Using U.S. data, we investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic influences oil price returns in an asset pricing framework. Unlike earlier studies, we consider a threshold model to allow for the possibility that COVID-19 risk may not play a role until it reaches a certain level. Based on WTI crude oil spot price data from January 2020 to December 2021, our findings show that oil returns significantly decline with the daily number of COVID-19 deaths but only if the daily death toll exceeds approximately 2100. In addition, a more severe COVID-19 pandemic can substantially increase the exposure of oil returns to various systematic risk factors, which has not been documented in previous literature.
