CoronaNetR

Offers access to a database on government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the 'CoronaNet' dataset provides the most comprehensive and granular documentation of such government policies in the world, capturing data for 20 broad policy categories alongside many other dimensions, including the initiator, target, and timing of a policy. This package is a programmatic front-end to up-to-date 'CoronaNet' policy records and the 'CoronaNet' policy intensity index scores. For more information, see Cheng et al.
