• Non-pharmaceutical interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic: A review (2020, methodology): “[53] authors use a mix of econometric and epidemiological methods to quantify the effect of a NPIs policies on the evolution of the pandemic.”
• Unemployment Effects of Stay-at-Home Orders: Evidence from High-Frequency Claims Data (2020, background): “In a notable study, Hsiang et al. (2020) estimate that, in six major countries, NPI interventions prevented or delayed over 62 million COVID-19 cases.”
• A literature review of the economics of COVID‐19 (2020, background): “On amore global scale, Hsiang et al. (2020) show that social distancing interventions prevented or delayed around 62 million confirmed cases, corresponding to the aversion of roughly 530 million total infections in China, South Korea, Italy, Iran, France, and the United States within 7 days.”
• Compound natural and human disasters: Managing drought and COVID-19 to sustain global agriculture and food sectors (2020, background): “Differences in anti-contagion policies in various nations under similar pandemic conditions suggest that an earlier response saved lives and resources (Hsiang et al., 2020).”
• Ranking the effectiveness of worldwide COVID-19 government interventions (2020, background): “Some research has combined data from multiple countries but has pooled NPIs into rather broad categories 10,19 , which eventually limits the assessment of specific, potentially critical NPIs , that may be less costly and more effective than others.”
• Inferring the effectiveness of government interventions against COVID-19 (2020, background): “(3) included the effect of severalNPIs in the effectiveness of their stay-athome order (or “lockdown”) NPIs and accordingly found a large effect for this NPI.”
