Abstract

This article uses nationally representative household survey data between June 2019 and 2020 from India to examine changes in household consumption expenditure following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that across rural and urban households, there was a strong reduction in overall expenditures, in particular, related to food and health. This corroborates findings from existing literature on food insecurity during the first lockdown in India (March–April 2020) and provides the first set of estimates on changes in health expenditure for this period. Although there were expansions to health insurance and subsidized COVID-related healthcare costs in India, our findings likely do not reflect this. We discuss implications for policy and outline future work.

不健康的冲击:印度第一波COVID-19期间家庭支出的变化
本文使用2019年6月至2020年印度具有全国代表性的家庭调查数据,研究了第一波COVID-19大流行后家庭消费支出的变化。我们发现,在农村和城市家庭中,总体支出大幅减少,特别是与食品和保健有关的支出。这证实了现有文献中关于印度第一次封锁期间(2020年3月至4月)粮食不安全的发现,并提供了关于这一时期卫生支出变化的第一套估计。尽管印度的医疗保险和与covid相关的补贴医疗费用有所扩大,但我们的研究结果可能并未反映这一点。我们讨论了对政策的影响,并概述了未来的工作。
