摘要

通过对土耳其65岁及以上成年人实施严格的针对特定年龄的封锁令，我们研究了长期严格的行动限制对老年人的心理健康影响。采用回归不连续设计，我们发现宵禁导致的活动能力下降大大恶化了心理健康结果，包括精神痛苦的躯体和非躯体症状(约0.2标准偏差)。探索潜在的渠道，我们记录了社会和身体隔离的增加，没有证据表明这一亚人群在劳动力市场结果或家庭内部冲突方面发生了重大变化。(jl d13, i21, i18, j14, o15)

Mental Health Costs of Lockdowns: Evidence from Age-Specific Curfews in Turkey

Using a strict, age-specific lockdown order for adults aged 65 and older in Turkey, we examine the mental health consequences of an extended period of tight mobility restrictions on senior adults. Adopting a regression discontinuity design, we find that the curfew-induced decline in mobility substantially worsened mental health outcomes, including somatic and nonsomatic symptoms of mental distress (approximately 0.2 standard deviation). Exploring potential channels, we document an increase in social and physical isolation, with no evidence of robust changes in labor market outcomes or intrahousehold conflict for this subpopulation.
