Zusammenfassung: 
We present a new estimation of business opening and closure rates using data from Google Places-the data set behind the Google Maps service. Our algorithm, through a bisection routine, counts the appearance and disappearance of "pins" that represent unique businesses. As a proof of concept, we compute business opening and closure rates for the city of Ottawa during the reopening phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2021. The lifting of restrictions coincides with a wave of re-entry of temporarily closed businesses, suggesting that government support may have facilitated the survival of hibernating businesses. Our entry estimates are validated by a survey of new businesses. This methodology allows policymakers to monitor business dynamics in quasi-real-time during rapidly unfolding crises.
