Abstract

At the end of 2019, the COVID-19 spread widely around the world, leading to a global economic recession. The data for this article is taken from a database created by Kenneth R. French. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic was widespread in the United States in March 2020 and remained stable through February 2023. In this paper, multiple linear regression method is adopted to conduct empirical analysis and test on the Fama-French five-factor model, and explore the explanatory strength of the five-factor model on the US stock market before and after the epidemic. The results showed that the volatility and average return of the market increased significantly after the epidemic. The epidemic enhanced the market value effect, and also enhanced the explanatory power of the profit factor and investment style factor.
