Abstract

The purpose of the article/hypothesis: The purpose of the article is to analyse the relationship between stock prices of selected companies and COVID-19 cases in those countries where the tourism and banking sectors have a high share of national income, such as Croatia, Italy and Spain.

Methodology: The methods used are Breakpoint Unit Root Tests to determine whether a time series is stationary or not, and ARDL cointegration technique for cointegration testing.

Results of the research: It was found that the number of COVID-19 cases negatively impacted the tourism and banking market in surveyed EU countries.
