It is known that extraordinary events such as epidemics, political events, and earthquakes have impacts on stock market returns. The study aims to explain the impact of Covid-19 outbreak on stock market returns in emerging market economies. Therefore, in the study, two different models are established to measure the impact of both Covid-19 cases and deaths related to Covid-19. In the study, Arellano, Froot and Rogers Random Effects Estimator and Arellano–Bond GMM Estimator are applied. As a result of the study, according to Arellano, Froot and Rogers Random Effects Estimator results, it is determined that Covid-19 cases have a positive and significant effect on the stock market. However, according to the Arellano–Bond GMM Estimator results, no significant effect of Covid-19 cases on the stock market is found. The effect of Covid-19 deaths on the stock market index is determined as positive and statistically significant according to both Arellano, Froot and Rogers Random Effects Estimator and Arellano Bond estimator.
