Abstract:

China has entered a stage of “scientific prevention and control and targeted measures” in the fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia. Studies have found that epidemic prevention and control measures do not only stop the spread of the epidemic, but also lead to a decline in the regional economy. Balancing the relationship between residents' health and economic development has become a key issue. In this paper, a fixed-effect model is constructed to analyze the impact of public health interventions on household consumption and its temporal and spatial differences. Data from 13 provinces in China, spanning from January 2020 to October 2022, are selected for analysis. The findings reveal that: (1) Stringent social distancing measures initially had a significant negative impact on household consumption, but they later facilitated consumption recovery. (2) Early social distancing measures had a stronger effect on household consumption compared to those implemented during regular epidemic control stages, with residents in economically developed areas being more adversely affected. (3) Additionally, the development of the internet, improvement in medical facilities, road infrastructure, and the rationalization of industrial structure helped mitigate the negative impacts of public health emergencies. The conclusion of this study can provide policy references for how management measures should be promoted according to local conditions in the face of public health emergencies.
