论文摘要
我们在冠状病毒大流行时提供了经济焦虑发展和决定因素的首次系统评估之一。在互联网搜索和两项来自美国的代表性调查中，我们记录了冠状病毒到达期间和之后的经济焦虑症的大幅度增加。我们还记录了关于冠状病毒大流行风险因素的信念的大量散布，并证明了这些信念会影响个人的经济焦虑。最后，我们表明，个人的传染病的心理模型传播了低调的非线性生长并影响经济焦虑的程度。
We provide one of the first systematic assessments of the development and determinants of economic anxiety at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Using a global dataset on internet searches and two representative surveys from the US, we document a substantial increase in economic anxiety during and after the arrival of the coronavirus. We also document a large dispersion in beliefs about the pandemic risk factors of the coronavirus, and demonstrate that these beliefs causally affect individuals' economic anxieties. Finally, we show that individuals' mental models of infectious disease spread understate non-linear growth and shape the extent of economic anxiety.
