New COVID-19 Working Papers: May 9, 2022
Four new working papers distributed in the last two weeks report on the economic, health, and related consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and public policies that respond to it. Two investigate how pandemic-related school closures affected student educational attainment (29979, 30010). Another examines the determinants of participation in protests against government-imposed lockdowns and mask mandates (29987). Yet another analyzes the sharp decline in US fertility early in the pandemic, and the subsequent strong rebound (30000).
More than 550 NBER working papers have addressed various aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These papers are open access and have been collected for easy reference. Like all NBER papers, they are circulated for discussion and comment, and have not been peer-reviewed. View them in reverse chronological order or by topic area.
