This table presents OLS estimates from regressing time spent at home at the country-level on (the one day-lag of) a dummy taking value 1 if on a given day the government imposed restrictions to stay at home. Column 3 includes interactions between the dummy and: i) the logarithm of real GDP per capita; ii) the number of cellphone subscriptions in the total population; iii) a measure of democracy from the Polity Project, iv) a dummy for experience with previous epidemics, and; v) the log-number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. Errors are clustered at the country-level. The coefficients with are significant at the 1% level, with are significant at the 5% level, and with are significant at the 10% level.
