This paper investigates the dynamics of price discovery for cross-listed firms in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using minute-level intraday data for 26 companies from France, Italy, and Spain cross-listed in Germany during the first six months of the pandemic, we find that the domestic markets experienced a significant decline in informational leadership during the COVID-19 market crash. Although Spanish firms regained their precrisis dominance within a month, French and Italian markets took longer to recover, and France had the slowest return to precrisis levels. Employing both Hasbrouck's information share (IS) and Gonzalo-Granger's component share (CS), we observe a temporary shift in price discovery to the German market during the crash, which gradually reversed over time. To explain these trends, we apply fixed-effects Tobit as well as machine learning techniques. Our results show that stronger economic interventions enhanced domestic market leadership in price discovery, whereas more stringent health measures weakened it. These findings highlight the sensitivity of market efficiency to policy responses and the importance of international market interdependence in times of crisis.
