Title: Socioeconomic Factors influencing the Spatial Spread of COVID-19 in the United States
****************************************************************************************************************** Date: Monday, 15 February Room: https://ju-se.zoom.us/j/6596546911
Abstract As the COVID-19 pandemic has progressed in the U.S., "hotspots" have been shifting geographically over time to suburban and rural counties showing a high prevalence of the disease. We analyze daily U.S. county-level variations in COVID-19 confirmed case counts to evaluate the spatial dependence between neighboring counties. We find strong evidence of county-level socioeconomic factors influencing the spatial spread. We show the potential of combining spatial econometric techniques and socioeconomic factors in assessing the spatial effects of COVID-19 among neighboring counties.
