Abstract

We employ Dogbey et al.'s (2024) method for studying the spread of US COVID-19 policy stringency to re-estimate and compare the magnitudes of the different COVID-19 policy contagion channels. We find that accounting for the state party affiliation as an additional channel of the contagion increases the total size from 30% to 44%.
