Abstract This paper uses high-frequency data on electricity consumption to demonstrate the effect of COVID restrictions on business activity and the mitigating effects of federal support programs. Using hourly data from the population of commercial customers in a utility and a panel event study framework, we evaluate how COVID restrictions alter total electricity consumption, the time profile of when electricity is consumed, and the probability that an account shuts down. /talk/mcee-covid/ Mon, 16 May 2022 13:45:00 +0000 /talk/mcee-covid/ Notes Panel speaker during the “Pandemic Diseases and the Environment” Parallel Session.
