Abstract

We examine the relationship between unemployment insurance generosity and reported intimate partner violence in the U.S. by leveraging the staggered adoption of the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program, which increased unemployment insurance payments by $600 per week in 2020. Using detailed nationwide police report data, we find that states that implemented this program reported 9% more cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) than states which had not yet implemented the program, driven primarily by increases in aggravated assault, intimidation, and sexual assault. This is consistent with prior evidence on changes in government transfers and IPV. These results are not explained by local differences in unemployment, sheltering in place, economic impact payments, COVID-19 case rates, or temperature. We also find a decrease in total reported IPV against men, but more serious offenses increase.

失业保险慷慨与亲密伴侣暴力

联邦大流行病失业补偿计划在 2020 年将失业保险金提高了每周 600 美元，我们利用该计划的交错实施，研究了美国失业保险金的慷慨程度与所报告的亲密伴侣暴力行为之间的关系。通过详细的全国警方报告数据，我们发现实施该计划的各州报告的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）案件比尚未实施该计划的各州多出 9%，主要原因是严重攻击、恐吓和性攻击案件的增加。这与之前有关政府转移支付和 IPV 变化的证据相一致。当地在失业率、就地安置、经济影响补偿、COVID-19 案件发生率或气温方面的差异无法解释这些结果。我们还发现，针对男性的 IPV 报告总数有所下降，但更严重的犯罪行为有所增加。
