摘要

我们提出了一种高收入和低收入群体之间的“贸易”模式，其中富人担心感染的传播，雇佣穷人作为家庭工业工人从事暴露密集型户外活动。在Covid-19大流行期间，社会距离和群体免疫的不平等程度越高，这种人际交流就会越多，这增加了对高技能和零工活动的需求。一般均衡模型和计量经济学估计支持这一观点，为政策制定者提供了见解，以评估这种有益的交换对改善发展中国家的工资不平等的影响，在发展中国家，非正规部门缓冲了收入不平等的影响，而发达国家没有非正规部门。

Immunity-driven comparative advantage and its palliative effect on social health and inequality

We propose a model of “trade” between high-income and low-income groups where the rich, fearing the spread of infection hires the poor for exposure-intensive outdoor activities as workers in the household industry. The greater the inequality, with social distancing and herd-immunity during Covid-19 pandemic, the more would be such inter-personal exchanges increasing demand for top-skilled and gig activities. The general equilibrium model and econometric estimation support this view offering policymakers insights to assess the impact of such gainful exchanges for improving wage inequality in the developing nations where informal sectors cushioned the income-inequality effects unlike the developed countries without informalization.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Policy Modeling is published by Elsevier for the Society for Policy Modeling to provide a forum for analysis and debate concerning international policy issues. The journal addresses questions of critical import to the world community as a whole, and it focuses upon the economic, social, and political interdependencies between national and regional systems. This implies concern with international policies for the promotion of a better life for all human beings and, therefore, concentrates on improved methodological underpinnings for dealing with these problems.
