摘要

本文探讨了家庭佣工对2020年1月23日开始的武汉(湖北省)封锁的反应。我们使用了一个新的数据集，其中包含了2019年11月至2020年6月在一家领先的专业网站上注册的4万多名中国家庭佣工的信息。研究结果显示，在中国11个主要城市中，家庭佣工的短期劳动力供应呈下降趋势，这表明这些城市家庭佣工的预期月工资有所增加。更重要的是，本文利用差异中差异(DID)模型，提供了一些证据，证明湖北出生的家庭佣工由于雇主害怕感染而存在劳动力市场歧视。

Unintended Consequences of Lockdowns: Evidence from Domestic Helpers in Urban China

This paper addresses the reactions of domestic helpers to the Wuhan (Hubei Province) lockdown that began on January 23, 2020. We use a novel dataset containing the information of over 40,000 Chinese domestic helpers registered on a leading professional website from November 2019 to June 2020. The results indicate a declining pattern of short-term labor supply of domestic helpers across 11 major Chinese cities, which shows an increase in the expected monthly wage of domestic helpers in these cities. More importantly, using a difference-in-difference (DID) model, this paper provides some evidence on the existence of labor market discrimination against domestic helpers born in Hubei Province due to employersi¯ fear of infection.
