  • Greater perception of the risk and severity of COVID-19, greater news monitoring, and perceived scarcity were associated with more panic buying in recent surveys.

    “recent surveys assessing individuals from the US, China, India, and Pakistan found that greater perception of the risk and severity of COVID-19, greater news monitoring, and perceived scarcity were associated with more panic buying (Clemens et al., 2020; Islam et al., 2020; Oosterhoff and Palmer, 2020; Zhang and Zhou, 2021).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
