You can use the phone book to estimate economic activity. This is what Warren Anderson did in his recent paper at Structural Change and Economic Dynamics. He shows many highly important things (notably how much wartime growth was overstated in national accounts)

We've had friends get their vaccine in Toledo because they couldn't get an appointment in Michigan (Detroit area).
When I said 'Flood Michigan with vaccine' many responded that the problem was demand not supply. This is not correct. Vaccinations have been rising in MI. Not zero! Moreover, it's not just vaccinating more people that counts--vaccinating the same people earlier is also a benefit.

Werner Troesken's paper with Patricia Beeson "When Bioterrorism Was No Big Deal" is one of my favorite titles and a good paper for classroom discussion. Sad to hear of his passing even though I never met him. nber.org/papers/w12636
