摘要

冠状病毒疫情对人们的生活造成了严重干扰。我们利用各州封锁措施的差异，利用美国的实时调查数据记录了居家令对心理健康的影响。我们发现，封锁措施使心理健康水平降低了0.083个标准差。这种巨大的负面影响完全是由女性造成的。由于封锁措施，心理健康方面现有的性别差距扩大了61%。对妇女心理健康的负面影响不能用经济忧虑或照顾责任的增加来解释。

The impact of the coronavirus lockdown on mental health: evidence from the United States

The coronavirus outbreak has caused significant disruptions to people’s lives. We exploit variation in lockdown measures across states to document the impact of stay-at-home orders on mental health using real-time survey data in the United States. We find that the lockdown measures lowered mental health by 0.083 standard deviations. This large negative effect is entirely driven by women. As a result of the lockdown measures, the existing gender gap in mental health has increased by 61%. The negative effect on women’s mental health cannot be explained by an increase in financial worries or caring responsibilities.
