COVID-19 促使世界各地政府采取前所未有的行动。我们推出了牛津 COVID-19 政府响应跟踪系统 (OxCGRT)，这是一个数据集，可满足有关政策措施的持续更新、易于使用和可比较的信息的需求。自 2020 年 1 月 1 日起，数据采集了 180 多个国家以及多个国家的地方司法管辖区与封锁和遏制、卫生和经济政策相关的政府政策。政策反应按顺序或连续尺度记录 19 个政策领域，捕捉反应程度的变化。我们提出了数据的两种激励应用，强调了政策采用的时机以及随后的政策放松和重新实施的模式，并说明了如何将数据与行为和流行病学指标相结合。该数据库使研究人员和政策制定者能够探索政策应对措施对 COVID-19 病例和死亡传播以及经济和社会福利的实证影响。牛津 COVID-19 政府应对跟踪系统 (OxCGRT) 记录了 190 多个国家 19 种不同政府 COVID-19 政策指标的数据。它涵盖封锁和遏制、健康和经济措施，为有效应对措施奠定了证据基础。
COVID-19 has prompted unprecedented government action around the world. We introduce the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT), a dataset that addresses the need for continuously updated, readily usable and comparable information on policy measures. From 1 January 2020, the data capture government policies related to closure and containment, health and economic policy for more than 180 countries, plus several countries' subnational jurisdictions. Policy responses are recorded on ordinal or continuous scales for 19 policy areas, capturing variation in degree of response. We present two motivating applications of the data, highlighting patterns in the timing of policy adoption and subsequent policy easing and reimposition, and illustrating how the data can be combined with behavioural and epidemiological indicators. This database enables researchers and policymakers to explore the empirical effects of policy responses on the spread of COVID-19 cases and deaths, as well as on economic and social welfare.The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) records data on 19 different government COVID-19 policy indicators for over 190 countries. Covering closure and containment, health and economics measures, it creates an evidence base for effective responses.
