Event Study: Additional Controls. Source: Mexico's National Public Security System (Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Nacional de Seguridad Pública). Notes: Plotted coefficients are event-study dummy variables, ${\beta }_q$ (from Eq. (1)). Each plotted point represents the number of months before and after the start of the pandemic in March. Solid lines connected lines represent point estimates. Dashed and dotted lines display the 95 percent confidence intervals. The red vertical line indicates the month before the lockdown (February). The green vertical line shows the month after the lockdown (June). Crimes are measured per 100,000 persons. Baseline fixed effects are included at the municipality, month, and year. The baseline specification is weighted by the muncipality-level population. Estimation includes January through October over 2019–2020. Robust standard errors are clustered at the municipal level. Additional controls include the COVID-19 cases and deaths per 100,000, whether the municipality had passed an alcohol ban, and whether the municipality had a demonstration against gender-based violence. The red specification omits demonstrations focused on abortion, and only includes anti-violence protests.
