Abstract
This paper analyzes restaurant closure patterns during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using establishment-level data from Yelp and SafeGraph, I describe restaurant and location characteristics related to the closure decisions. Lower-rated restaurants and restaurants located closer to the city center were more likely to close in 2020.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
