Abstract
This study explores the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and investor behavior during the COVID-19 crisis, utilizing a sample of S&P 500 companies. Findings suggest that these factors may not have had a significant influence on investment decisions during this period. Despite a notable overall market response to major COVID-19 related events, our findings reveal that ESG factors provide minimal explanatory power for individual stock price returns. This observation invites further investigation into the conditions under which ESG considerations are prioritized by investors.
