Analyzing and Monitoring the Early Spread of COVID-19: A Demographic Perspective
Ugofilippo Basellini, Diego Alburez-Gutierrez, Emilio Zagheni; in Collaboration with Marco Bonetti (Bocconi University, Milan, Italy), Carlo Giovanni Camarda (French National Institute for Demographic Studies, Paris, France)
We analyze and monitor the initial spread of COVID-19 and propose new methods to estimate excess mortality. The goal is to provide researchers and policy-makers alike with insights into and real-time information on the evolution of the pandemic. Detailed Description
Covid-19 in Italy

Covid-19 mortality rates in Italian regions by epidemic onset

Start date of the epidemic by region (left-hand panel) and smoothed Covid-19 log mortality rates over time (right-hand panels): Italy, late February to mid-July 2020. Regions with earlier epidemic outbreaks show on average higher levels of Covid-19 mortality than regions with later outbreaks. © Basellini and Camarda (2022)
