摘要

为遏制COVID-19感染的传播,建议严格遵守勤洗手和呼吸卫生规程。虽然这些措施涉及私人努力,但它们在提供集体社区利益的同时也带来了健康收益,因此可能是由利他主义和互惠等亲社会动机驱动的。利用2020年4月至5月在印度各地收集的934名受访者的数据,我们评估了感知社区合规的变化是否可以预测个人合规行为的变化。我们观察到两者之间具有统计学意义的正相关关系,即使在考虑到可观察到的和忽略的变量偏差后,我们也可以从一个合理的因果角度来看待结果。此外,我们发现随后的封锁对个人合规性产生了不利影响,尽管更高的社区合规性似乎抵消了这种损失。我们还发现,对社区的积极看法对已有合并症的人尤其有效。我们的研究结果强调,需要采取涉及当地行为者和社区机构的多层次行为干预措施,以在大流行期间维持私营部门的合规。我们建议这些干预措施需要特别针对患有慢性病的个人,并在公共信息中强调社区行为实践。JEL代码:I12, I18, I19, I31

Love Thy Neighbour? Perceived Community Abidance and Private Compliance to COVID-19 Norms in India
To arrest the spread of COVID-19 infection, strict adherence to frequent hand washing and respiratory hygiene protocols have been recommended. While these measures involve private effort, they provide health gains along with collective community benefits and hence are likely to be driven by pro-social motives like altruism and reciprocity. Using data from 934 respondents collected from April till May 2020 across India, we assess if changes in perceived community compliance can predict changes in individual compliance behaviour. We observe statistically significant and positive relationship between the two, even after accounting for observable and omitted variable bias allowing us to view the results from a plausible causal lens. Further, we find subsequent lockdowns having a detrimental effect on individual compliance though the gains from higher perceived community compliance seem to offset this loss. We also find positive perceptions about community can be particularly effective for people with pre-existing co-morbidities. Our findings underscore the need for multi-level behavioural interventions involving local actors and community institutions to sustain private compliance during the pandemic. We suggest these interventions need to be specially targeted for individuals with chronic ailments and emphasize on community behavioural practices in public messaging. JEL Codes: I12, I18, I19, I31

期刊介绍: The South Asian nations have progressively liberalized their economies in recent years in an effort to integrate with the world economy. They have also taken steps to enhance multilateral and regional economic integration. Even though the South Asian economies have grown at an average rate of more than 5 per cent over the last few years, roughly 40 per cent of their people still live below the poverty line. Hence, the South Asian region continues to face many challenges of economic and social development. The South Asia Economic Journal (SAEJ) is designed as a forum for informed debate on these issues, which are of vital importance to the people of the region who comprise one-sixth of the world’s population. The peer-reviewed journal is devoted to economic analysis and policy options aimed at promoting cooperation among the countries comprising South Asia. It also discusses South Asia’s position on global economic issues, its relations with other regional groupings and its response to global developments. We also welcome contributions to inter-disciplinary analysis on South Asia. As a refereed journal, SAEJ carries articles by scholars, economic commentators,policy-makers and officials, from both the private and public sectors. Our aim is to create a vibrant research space to explore the multidimensional economic issues of concern to scholars working on South Asia. Among the issues debated in relation to South Asia are: - the implications of global economic trends; - the issues and challenges by WTO; - approaches to industrialization and development; - the role of regional institutions such as the SAARC; - the relationship between SAARC and other regional economic groupings such as ASEAN; - the implications of economic liberalization for trade and investment in the region; - new initiatives that can be launched to enhance economic cooperation among the South Asian countries both on a bilateral and a regional basis.
