We examine how the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war affected specific stock
indices in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States, and Europe. Using event study
methodology, we find that the event day’s abnormal returns indicate that the war’s
outbreak had a significantly negative impact on most indices. For example, countries
like Australia, Germany, Pakistan, India, Singapore, Vietnam, Mongolia, Malaysia,
Bangladesh, and the Philippines show significantly negative returns the day after the
war’s outbreak. All indices continue to have significantly negative returns in the rest
of the post-event window, except Australia, Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines.
Our analysis enables us to identify which countries in the Asia Pacific region along
with selected markets from the Europe region, the counties directly bordering
Ukraine were most vulnerable to war news and when the immediate consequences
of the war were better than expected, confirming these cross-sectional implications
