Note(s): *** indicates significance at 1% level; ** indicates significance at 5% level; * indicates significance at 10% level. Variables with moderate-to-severe multicollinearity (VIF>10) are avoided in each model. Controls and Fixed Effects are included in each model but not reported. The sample period is the weekly observations from Jan’2020 to Mar’2022. T-statistics values are in parentheses
