Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyse the spread of COVID‐19 in Russia taking into account various connections between regions and the effectiveness of isolation strategies using global vector autoregression (GVAR). We use regional data on new cases of coronavirus, self‐isolation index, Google trends index reflecting social awareness of pandemic and passenger turnover in buses, trains and planes. It was found that the number of new COVID‐19 cases reacts to Moscow outbreak shock significantly in most regions. During the second wave, the speed of reaction was faster but of a smaller size. The forecasts of new cases dynamics during the rising of the second wave turn out to be rather close to the actual dynamics in many regions. More rigorous social distancing strategy in Moscow reduced the number of cases in some regions but at the same time raised that number in some others.

期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Econometrics is an international journal published bi-monthly, plus 1 additional issue (total 7 issues). It aims to publish articles of high quality dealing with the application of existing as well as new econometric techniques to a wide variety of problems in economics and related subjects, covering topics in measurement, estimation, testing, forecasting, and policy analysis. The emphasis is on the careful and rigorous application of econometric techniques and the appropriate interpretation of the results. The economic content of the articles is stressed. A special feature of the Journal is its emphasis on the replicability of results by other researchers. To achieve this aim, authors are expected to make available a complete set of the data used as well as any specialised computer programs employed through a readily accessible medium, preferably in a machine-readable form. The use of microcomputers in applied research and transferability of data is emphasised. The Journal also features occasional sections of short papers re-evaluating previously published papers. The intention of the Journal of Applied Econometrics is to provide an outlet for innovative, quantitative research in economics which cuts across areas of specialisation, involves transferable techniques, and is easily replicable by other researchers. Contributions that introduce statistical methods that are applicable to a variety of economic problems are actively encouraged. The Journal also aims to publish review and survey articles that make recent developments in the field of theoretical and applied econometrics more readily accessible to applied economists in general.
