Our extension of the Tiebout model to incorporate … such costs yields the following comparative statics: as mobility costs fall, the heterogeneity across communities of … mobility costs have fallen over time, a natural test of the Tiebout hypothesis is to take these predictions to the data here …

This study quantifies the effect of state reopening policies on daily mobility, travel, and mixing behavior during the … different states. We quantify the increase in mobility patterns during the reopening phase by a broad range of cell …-device-based metrics. Soon (four days) after reopening, we observe a 6% to 8% mobility increase. In addition, we find that temperature and …
