摘要

个人和社会偏好已被证明是影响个人决策和总体经济表现的重要因素。然而,它们通常被认为是既定的和稳定的,低估了它们在自然灾害或流行病后对经济复苏节奏的影响。本文考察了危地马拉农村地区小社区COVID-19初期隔离对家庭个人和社会偏好的影响。我们对2019年和2020年两轮调查期间收集的农业小农进行了全面的家庭小组调查,发现偏好在大流行爆发后普遍发生了变化。我们观察到风险承受能力显著增加,对信任和慷慨的看法恶化,情绪问题的频率更高,而家庭内部关系保持稳定。我们发现,经历家庭不利情况、更高程度地接触病毒以及更严格的局部隔离措施,形成了偏好的几种变化。该研究将重点放在贫困率和营养不良率高的区域,这为了解在公共卫生紧急情况发生后,在复杂和脆弱的农村环境中,禁闭对观念和态度的影响提供了重要见解。

The unintended consequences of confinement: Evidence from the rural area in Guatemala

Individual and social preferences have shown to be important factors in individual decision making and general economic performance. Yet, they are usually assumed as given and stable, underestimating their impact in the rhythm of economic recovery after a natural disaster or pandemic. This paper examines the effects of COVID-19 initial confinement on households’ individual and social preferences across small communities in the rural area of Guatemala. We use a comprehensive panel household survey of agricultural smallholders collected during two survey rounds in 2019, prior to the pandemic, and 2020 and find that preferences generally shifted following the onset of the pandemic. We observe a significant increase in risk tolerance, deteriorated perceptions towards trust and generosity, and a higher frequency of emotional issues, while intra-household relationships remain stable. We find that experiencing a household adverse situation, a higher degree of exposure to the virus, and more stringent local confinement measures shaped several of the variations in preferences. The focus of the study on a region with high poverty and malnutrition rates offers important insights of the consequences of confinement on perceptions and attitudes in complex and vulnerable rural contexts during the wake of a public health emergency.

期刊介绍: The Journal aims to present research that will improve understanding of behavioral, in particular psychological, aspects of economic phenomena and processes. The Journal seeks to be a channel for the increased interest in using behavioral science methods for the study of economic behavior, and so to contribute to better solutions of societal problems, by stimulating new approaches and new theorizing about economic affairs. Economic psychology as a discipline studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie economic behavior. It deals with preferences, judgments, choices, economic interaction, and factors influencing these, as well as the consequences of judgements and decisions for economic processes and phenomena. This includes the impact of economic institutions upon human behavior and well-being. Studies in economic psychology may relate to different levels of aggregation, from the household and the individual consumer to the macro level of whole nations. Economic behavior in connection with inflation, unemployment, taxation, economic development, as well as consumer information and economic behavior in the market place are thus among the fields of interest. The journal also encourages submissions dealing with social interaction in economic contexts, like bargaining, negotiation, or group decision-making. The Journal of Economic Psychology contains: (a) novel reports of empirical (including: experimental) research on economic behavior; (b) replications studies; (c) assessments of the state of the art in economic psychology; (d) articles providing a theoretical perspective or a frame of reference for the study of economic behavior; (e) articles explaining the implications of theoretical developments for practical applications; (f) book reviews; (g) announcements of meetings, conferences and seminars.
