ABSTRACT

The empirical analysis employs a static threshold model using a daily dataset over the six months from the first confirmed European COVID-19 case (25 January 2020). The results indicate that the investigated relationship is non-monotonic (‘U-shaped’) depending on the intensity of the lockdown measures proxied by the Coronavirus Government Response Tracker Index (CGR).
