Political Regimes and Deaths in the Early Stages of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Gabriel Cepaluni, Michael Dorsch, Réka Branyiczki

This paper provides a quantitative examination of the link between political institutions and deaths during the first 100 days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The result is robust to the inclusion of many relevant controls, a battery of estimation techniques, and to estimation with instruments for the institutional measures that we consider. Additionally, we examine the extent to which COVID

“Covid19 and Protest Repertoires in the United States: An initial description of limited change”

Jeremy Pressman, Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick

In April, almost 89% of protest were either for enhanced or reduced Covid-related protections or equipment. 194 protests or 43.0% of the month’s total were directly to promote public health, including more PPE (60 protests), demands for other workplace protections (37), the release of prisoners and detainees (60), and general support for stay-at-home measures. At the same time, 206 protests or 45.7% opposed restrictive public health measures and called for reopening. Only 23 demonstrations or 5.1% protested non-Covid
