摘要

本文探讨了非正规经济对政府在公共卫生危机中进行干预的影响。文章报告了对大流行病期间企业自行报告的暂停营业情况的分析结果，以及对 2020 年 3 月印度为应对封锁而改变社区运动模式的地区级分析结果。我们发现，非正规企业不太可能暂停营业，而非正规经济的盛行削弱了社区对社会隔离措施的行为反应。这一结果不仅揭示了社会应对 COVID-19 大流行的一个未被充分研究的方面，还证明了经济机构对于理解公共治理的重要性。

The informal economy and the reach of policy interventions: Evidence from the COVID‐19 lockdown in India

This essay examines the influence of the informal economy on the reach of government interventions in public health crises. It reports the results of an analysis of the self‐reported suspension of business operations during the pandemic, as well as a district‐level analysis of the changing patterns in community movement in response to the lockdown in India in March 2020. We find that informal establishments were less likely to suspend their operations and that the prevalence of the informal economy weakened the behavioral response of the communities to social distancing measures. In addition to bringing to light an understudied facet of the societal response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, this result demonstrates the importance of economic institutions for understanding public governance.

The Review not only serves as a link between theorists and practitioners, but also builds a bridge between development economists and their colleagues in related fields.
