摘要:

最近,Phillippe Lemoine对我们的论文《口罩、政策、行为对美国早期新冠肺炎大流行的因果影响》发表了评论。[arXiv:2005.14168]在他题为“封锁,计量经济学和艺术把口红上的猪。“虽然Lemoine的批评似乎是意识形态驱动的,过于情绪化,但他的一些观点值得讨论。特别是,我们的估计结果的敏感性(i)包括“公共场所的口罩”和(ii)更新数据似乎是重要的批评,因此,我们决定自己分析更新的数据。本文总结了我们重新检查更新数据的发现,并回应了Phillippe Lemoine对这两个重要观点的批评。我们还简要讨论了Lemoine在他的帖子中提出的其他观点。在分析更新的数据后,我们发现了加强原始研究结论的证据。

英文摘要:

Recently, Phillippe Lemoine posted a critique of our paper "Causal Impact of Masks, Policies, Behavior on Early Covid-19 Pandemic in the U.S." [arXiv:2005.14168] at his post titled "Lockdowns, econometrics and the art of putting lipstick on a pig." Although Lemoine's critique appears ideologically driven and overly emotional, some of his points are worth addressing. In particular, the sensitivity of our estimation results for (i) including "masks in public spaces" and (ii) updating the data seems important critiques and, therefore, we decided to analyze the updated data ourselves. This note summarizes our findings from re-examining the updated data and responds to Phillippe Lemoine's critique on these two important points. We also briefly discuss other points Lemoine raised in his post. After analyzing the updated data, we find evidence that reinforces the conclusions reached in the original study.
