Fig. 4 — Mitigating Impact of IT across Individuals. This figure plots the coefficient and the 90% confidence interval of $β_{5}$ and $β_{6}$ from Eq. 7:
$\begin{matrix} U n e m p l o y e d_{i, t} = α + β_{1} Δ M o b i l i t y_{m s a (i), t} * A_{i} + β_{2} Δ M o b i l i t y_{m s a (i), t} * (1 - A_{i}) \\ + β_{3} I T_{m s a (i)} * A_{i} + β_{4} I T_{m s a (i)} * (1 - A_{i}) \\ + β_{5} Δ M o b i l i t y_{m s a (i), t} * I T_{m s a (i)} * A_{i} \\ + β_{6} Δ M o b i l i t y_{m s a (i), t} * I T_{m s a (i)} * (1 - A_{i}) \\ + Z_{i}^{'} δ + X_{m s a (i)}^{'} σ + {(X_{m s a (i)} * M o b i l i t y_{m s a (i), t})}^{'} γ + + α_{s (i)} + ϵ_{i, t} \end{matrix}$
where $U n e m p l o y e d_{i, t}$ is a dummy variable that takes the value one if the individual $i$ is unemployment in month $t$ (April/May 2020) and zero if the individual is employed. $Δ M o b i l i t y_{m s a (i), t}$ is the change in mobility in month $t$ relative to the pre-COVID baseline. $I T_{m s a (i)}$ is the average level of IT adoption in the MSA. $A_{i}$ are dummy variables categorizing the respondent according to gender, race, and education subgroups. $X$ includes GDP per capita, population density and the minority share. See Section 3 and Section 5 for more details.
