This research examines the shock of a government response to COVID-19 on the stock prices of 30 international energy enterprises spanning from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Overall, the empirical results denote that a government response stringency index, containment and health index, and economic support index all have a statistically significant negative impact on their stock prices. The negative impact from the containment and health index is especially the greatest, implying that a government’s stringent responses have great negative effect on the stock prices of most energy enterprises.
