SD – standard deviation, VAT – value-added tax

*The VAT year-over-year growth rate is calculated as the difference in logarithms of VAT for each month and each municipality relative to 12 months before. As such, a number like 0.08 is approximately an 8% drop vis-à-vis the previous year. In the VAT growth rate for “March-May 2020,” we include the growth rate for each month-municipality in that period. We consider that the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic on mobility occurred on March 16 because the government closed all schools on that date [46].
