Notes: Estimation equation (4): where denotes Covid-19 cases/deaths in state at date , measured in days. and denote state fixed effects and time fixed effects, respectively. denotes mobility, and is the lag operator. The mobility measures for the case (death) regressions are averaged over 21 (35) days and lagged 7 (14) days. All mobility measures are standardized for easier interpretation of the coefficients. measures whether a face mask mandate is in place during the time period when mobility is measured. The timing of the mask mandate as well as that of the temperature and the local mobility restrictions controls in match the corresponding mobility averaging and lag structure. denotes mask wearing compliance as measured in the survey data described in Appendix A. Regressions are weighted by state population and use Driscoll–Kraay standard errors. The sample includes all available observations between March 15, 2020 and November 15, 2020. Not all control variables are reported in the table.
