Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The paper investigates the effect of public disclosure of detailed location information from people who tested positive for COVID-19 in South Korea. I use the actual travel histories of confirmed individuals including locations they visited before being quarantined, foot traffic measures based on mobile phone signals, consumer spending data based on card transactions, and the number of new jobs at the district level in Seoul. I find that public disclosure of the travel histories in a given district decreased foot traffic, consumer spending, and new employment there in the short run and did not increase new confirmed cases in exposure locations. The results suggest that public disclosure caused economic losses in the short term, but played a role in preventing the transmission of infections.
