Abstract

In this paper, we quantify impacts on consumption expenditure and patterns following India’s initial sudden lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the gradual relaxation that followed. We use household survey data from a representative Indian state, Punjab. We separate the effects on rural versus urban households, and by whether households were female-headed, or had daily laborers. While the urban population cut back expenditure across all categories, rural households shifted toward basic commodities and cut back more on other expenditure. Rural households that included daily-wage laborers were the most severely affected.
COVID封锁对消费的影响:来自印度的家庭数据
在本文中,我们量化了印度为应对COVID-19大流行而开始的突然封锁以及随后的逐步放松对消费支出和模式的影响。我们使用了印度旁遮普邦的家庭调查数据。我们区分了对农村和城市家庭的影响,以及家庭是否由女性担任户主,或者是否有日工。在城市人口削减所有类别支出的同时,农村家庭转向基本商品,并更多地削减其他支出。包括日薪劳动者在内的农村家庭受影响最严重。
