Model specification follows equation (1) using transaction-level data from January 1-March 18, 2020, using nutrition summary metrics (NRF and NPI) as dependent variables. The regressions are estimated using weighted least squares, using as weight the daily number of transactions in each restaurant. Note that *, **, *** indicate 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence intervals. All errors are clustered at the city level.
