Graphs show estimated associations of COVID-19 policy and behavioural responses with employment per capita, sector-standardised and defined as the ratio of expected to actual employment. In panels A and B, all regressions include controls for education, proportion of the population older than 65 years, proportion of the population younger than 20 years, mean weekly state unemployment benefits, and mean state unemployment benefit duration. All regressions assessing specific policy interventions also control for mandate propensity and the individual estimates should be interpreted as estimates in addition to the general propensity to impose policy interventions. Error bars are 95% CIs. Statistical significance at the 95% level is indicated by green bars (significant increase) or red bars (significant decrease). GDP=gross domestic product. Values and more information about interpreting these results are provided in theappendix (pp 7277).
