“…On the other hand, Majid and Kassim (2010) stated that the very fast growth in the Islamic capital market has triggered a lot of attention to understand the value of integration of various countries that offer Islamic stock indexes in the interest of building a global Islamic stock portfolio. Although there is a high integration value between countries, it is still possible to diversify because each country still has various geopolitical and economic conditions with their respective advantages and disadvantages especially related to the COVID-19 crisis (Harjoto & Rossi, 2021;Rakshit & Neog, 2021).

“…Google Trends data on coronavirus-related searches is also used as a proxy for panic and fear ( Goodell and Huynh, 2020 , Lee, 2020 , Hevia et al, 2020 , Lyócsa et al, 2020 , Ramelli and Wagner, 2020 ). Similarly to other previous studies (e.g., Baig et al, 2021 , Cepoi, 2020 , Haroon and Rizvi, 2020a , Umar and Gubareva, 2020 , Umar et al, 2021 , Rakshit and Neog, 2021 ), our study examines, in contrast, the impact of media coverage on investors, using media coverage indexes provided by RavenPack, a provider of data analytics for financial services, as an indicator of investor fear. In particular, we examine three daily indexes that reflect different aspects of media coverage of COVID-19, namely the percentage of media outlets (Infodemic Index, II), the number of news sources (Media Coverage Index, MCI), and the amount of news (Media Hype Index, MHI) mentioning COVID-19.…”
