Fig. 6

a–f display the regression-estimated policy effects on the respective dependent variables at the district-week level: logarithm of the number of orders, the logarithm of net GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume); logarithm of average GMV per order; and logarithm of net GMV of cooked food, uncooked food and nonfood grocery. “2020w5” and “w15” refer to the first and last week of the lockdown of Wuhan, which are the 5th week in 2020 and the 15th week in 2020, respectively. Complete WH and YC denote the policy effects of complete lockdown in Wuhan and Yichang, respectively. Partial HZ and HRB denote the policy effects of partial lockdown in Hangzhou and Harbin, respectively. Checkpoint SZ and CQ denote the policy effects of checkpoints in Suzhou and Chongqing, respectively. Please refer to the “Materials and methods” section for policy and control variables and regression specifications.
