Document: We collected all COVID-19 related policies, their issue and effective dates for all 50 states and the District of Columbia since the report of the first positive case in the United States. Since there are some discrepancies in policy start dates among datasets available on third party sources, we used the original documents issued by the state governments, collected by the Kaiser Family Foundation 10 to determine the type and date of each state policy. We considered the effective date as the first day in which the policy in question has been in full effect, acknowledging that this decision creates potential biases since some states had policies that went into effect immediately, resulting in fractions of a day of policy that are missed in our data. This, however, does not substantially change the magnitude and significance of our results.
