    (Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Montoya Echavarría, Juan Camilo; Velásquez Hurtado, Omar Mauricio
    This is an analysis of the political communication strategies of the Mayor of Medellin and the Mayoress of Bogota, as they faced, at the beginning of their governments, the protests in the cities against the National Government and the management of the pandemic until May 2020. The analysis gathers testimonies, interviews, news and the way they communicated measures and decisions to citizens.

    The Effect of Temperature on the Spread of the Coronavirus in the U.S.
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2020-04-11) Breton, Theodore
    I investigate whether the cross-sectional data on cumulative (symptomatic) cases of coronavirus in the 48 contiguous states of the U.S. at the end of March 2020 provide any evidence that the rate of transmission of the virus declines at higher temperatures. Average temperatures in March varied from 30 to 71 degrees Fahrenheit in the 48 states. Controlling for other relevant factors, including population density and the availability of testing, I find no evidence that a higher average temperature in a state reduced the incidence of cumulative cases/capita of the virus in the state. These results provide no indication that seasonal increases in temperature will cause the coronavirus epidemic to disappear in the summer.

    An Estimate of Unidentified and Total U.S. Coronavirus Cases by State on April 21, 2020
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2020-04-23) Breton, Theodore
    I use data on cumulative tests, positive tests, and deaths for the coronavirus in South Korea and the U.S. lower-48 states during April 2020 to estimate the extent of infection and the unidentified share of the infected population in each state and in the U.S. as a whole on April 21, 2020. I find that 3.8 million people, or 1.2% of the population, have been infected in the U.S., with rates of infection that range from 0.1% in more rural states to 7.0% in New York state. I estimate that only 20% of all U.S. cases have been identified through testing. The unidentified share of total cases ranges from 61% to 83% across the states. I estimate that 38% of all cases are asymptomatic, which is consistent with the high shares of unidentified cases.
