Abstract

According to Putnam (2000) and Bourdieu (1986), social disparities may result in the formation of narrow social bonds that exacerbate existing social cleavages and impede collective action. Motivated by this insight, we examine the relationship between social disparities and social distancing during the pre-vaccine Covid pandemic in the US. Using a panel of weekly, county-level observations, we find that income, educational and racial disparities are associated with a statistically significant decrease in the social distancing. This result is robust to controls for a wide variety of socioeconomic variables, the Covid infection rate, and a measure of social capital.

Covid大流行期间的社会差异和社会距离。

Putnam(2000)和Bourdieu(1986)认为，社会差异可能导致形成狭窄的社会纽带，从而加剧现有的社会分裂，阻碍集体行动。基于这一见解，我们研究了美国疫苗前Covid大流行期间社会差异与社会距离之间的关系。通过每周一次的县级观察，我们发现收入、教育和种族差异与社会距离的统计显着减少有关。这一结果对于各种社会经济变量、Covid感染率和社会资本衡量指标的控制都是稳健的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
