Notes: NYC panel results using SafeGraph trips from home. Dependent variable is log of new cases per capita in zip code iin week t. All columns control for log of healthcare employment and the log of police employment. Panels A shows results for the full panel, reporting β from Eq. (1) in the first column, with versions of Eq. (2.2) in columns (2)–(6): ln(NewCasesit)=β%ΔTripsi^+zipi+weekt+εit. Panel B splits the time period in half, and interacts the coefficient of interest with the two time periods, decomposing βinto β1stHalf,β2ndHalf. Columns (2)–(5) use both the telework and essential share instuments. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Significance: *p<0.10,**p<0.05,***p<0.01.
