Impact of COVID-19 lockdown policy on homicide, suicide, and motor vehicle deaths in Peru

Renzo J. C. Calderon-Anyosa et al.

Summary: The impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures on violent and accidental deaths in Peru was investigated, revealing a significant decrease in all forms of deaths examined. Traffic accident-related deaths saw the largest reduction, while homicides and suicides showed similar declines by gender, with a higher increase rate in male homicides. This suggests that mobility restrictions had a natural impact on traffic accidents, but the patterns and changes in homicides and suicides warrant further study.

Working from home in developing countries

Charles Gottlieb et al.

Summary: This study utilizes worker-level data on job task content in developing countries to measure the ability to work-from-home, revealing low WFH ability in these countries but higher ability among educated, wage employees, and women. The measure is shown to predict actual WFH outcomes, including overall levels, variations across occupations and individual characteristics, and employment outcomes in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Peru.

On the effects of COVID-19 safer-at-home policies on social distancing, car crashes and pollution

Abel Brodeur et al.

Summary: This study shows that statewide safer-at-home policies result in a 20% reduction in vehicular collisions, driven by less severe collisions, and a 25% reduction in particulate matter concentration levels. Benefits from avoided car collisions in the U.S. were approximately $16 billion, while benefits from reduced air pollution could be as high as $13 billion by the end of June 2020.
