Title: Face Masks, Public Policies and Slowing the Spread of COVID-19: Evidence from Canada | NBER

URL: https://www.nber.org/papers/w27891

Collection: Global Health Events web archive

Description: This 68-page report estimates the impact of mask mandates and other non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) on COVID-19 case growth in Canada, including regulations on businesses and gatherings, school closures, travel and self-isolation, and long-term care homes. Counterfactual policy simulations suggest that mandating indoor masks nationwide in early July could have reduced the weekly number of new cases in Canada by 25 to 40 percent in mid-August, which translates into 700 to 1,100 fewer cases per week.

Title: Estimating the COVID-19 Infection Rate: Anatomy of an Inference Problem | NBER

URL: https://www.nber.org/papers/w27023

Collection: Global Health Events web archive

Description: Understanding the time path of the COVID-19 pandemic has been hampered by the absence of bounds on infection rates that are credible and informative. This 26-page paper explains the logical problem of bounding these rates and reports illustrative findings, using data from Illinois, New York, and Italy. It combines the data with assumptions on the infection rate in the untested population and on the accuracy of the tests that appear credible in the current context.
