摘要

我们使用万事达卡的在线交易数据，研究了COVID-19大流行期间44个经济体和26个行业的在线支出份额。在大流行期间，信用卡交易总额的在线份额激增，但此后在大多数国家又回到了大流行前的趋势。各国之间的差异与流动性和财政措施密切相关。几乎没有证据表明电子商务消费模式发生了永久性的结构性变化。最后，我们估计，与covid -19相关的对面对面支出的限制造成了平均7%的福利成本。

Back to trend: COVID effects on E-commerce in 44 countries

We study online spending shares in 44 economies and 26 industries during the COVID-19 pandemic, using online transaction data from Mastercard. The online shares of total credit card transactions surged during the pandemic during lockdowns, but since returned to pre-pandemic trends in most countries. The differences between countries are strongly correlated with the mobility and fiscal measures. There is little evidence of permanent structural changes in e-commerce spending patterns. Finally, we estimate that COVID-19-related restrictions on in-person spending imposed average welfare costs of 7 percent.
