The paper models investor sentiments (IS) to attract investments for Health Sector and Growth in emerging markets, ., India, Mainland China, and the UAE, by asking questions such as: What specific healthcare sector opportunities are available in the three markets?

How important are economic crises and pandemic events in predicting IS in these markets? Is there contemporaneous relation in predicting IS across the three countries in terms of USA-IS, and, if yes, is the magnitude of the impact of USA-IS uniform across the three countries' IS? The artificial neural network (ANN) model is applied to weekly time-series data from January 2003 to December 2020 to capture behavioral elements in the investors' decision-making in these emerging economies. The empirical findings confirmed the superiority of the ANN framework over the traditional logistic model in capturing the cognitive behavior of investors.
