Note: *p<0.1 **p<0.05 ***p<0.01. This table present results robustness checks of the main results presented in Table 1. Overall crime rate is the dependent variable in each column, which presents a separate regression based off the difference-in-difference specification in equation (1) with the following differences. The first 3 columns vary the number of weeks in the before period; the next 4 columns vary the number of weeks in the after period. 7 weeks in the before period and 4 weeks in the after period is the baseline that is used in Table 1. Column 8 uses only data from 2019 and 2020. Column 9 adds the unemployment rate as an additional control variable to the base specification. After = 1 beginning the week of the stay-at-home order and 0 otherwise; Treat = 1 for 2020 and 0 otherwise. All regressions include city and week fixed effects. Standard errors calculated by wild bootstrap. Data source: city police departments.
