Abstract
This research examines the relationship between daily Covid-19 cases and public mobility for six different places, where mobility can be high, in Brazil, the UK, and the USA. We tried to show how the spreading effect of infectious diseases occurs in places where human mobility is intense. The data consists of daily data covering the periods from 28/02/2020 to 08/02/2021, which includes the database of Our World in Data and Google Mobility Reports. Basically, there is a positive correlation between mobility and case numbers. Results in the paper differ from country to country. That is to say, mobility in grocery stores and pharmacies can be said to have an impact on the number of cases in all three countries. Brazil is the country where mobility in parks has the strongest impact. The country which has the lowest frequency in retail outlets is America.
期刊介绍:
In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
