Note: The dots in the panels represent the actual cumulative changes in financial variables in each EME from January 17 to August 28, 2020. The bars represent the cumulative contributions of U.S. financial variables (high-yield spread, VIX and their interactions), Covid-19 variables (deaths per hundred thousand, Oxford Stringency Index and their interactions) and residuals for each EME as predicted by the regressions in Table 1.
