Notes:

The World Bank classifies the world’s economies into four income groups – high (US$12,536 or more), upper-middle (US$4,046–US$12,535), lower-middle (US$1,036 to US$4,045) and low (US$1,035 or less). The assignment is based on GNI per capita (current US$), calculated using the Atlas method. Source: https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/new-country-classifications-income-level-2019-2020. Data for COVID19 number of cases per million is sourced from https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data (accessed 30 December 2020). The percentage of closed firms, permanently or temporarily and percentage of change in monthly sales compared to one year ago, are calculated by the authors
