在第一波大流行中,地域流动性下降更快的地方,COVID-19病例较少。然而,人们对各国政府为遏制病毒传播而采取的封锁措施的遵守程度却存在很大差异。在本文中,我们表明这种差异可以用不同的文化特征来解释。具体来说,我们提出了这样一个假设,即个人主义更重视个人自由,使政府干预更加困难,而集体主义强调群体的福祉,使集体行动更加容易。我们在111个国家中发现了对这些观点的支持,但在利用世界上最大的两个经济体——中国和美国——的国内差异时,也发现了对这些观点的支持。从一系列指标来看,在个人主义文化特征更为普遍的地方,人们对封锁规定的遵守程度较低。我们得出结论,文化因素在政策的成功实施中起着至关重要的作用。
In the first wave of the pandemic, places where geographic mobility declined more rapidly saw fewer cases of COVID-19. And yet, there is significant variation in people’s compliance with the lockdown measures introduced by governments in order to curb the spread of the virus. In this paper, we show that much of this variation can be explained by different cultural traits. Specifically, we advance the hypothesis that individualism, which puts greater value on personal freedom, makes government intervention harder, whereas collectivism, which emphasises the wellbeing of the group, makes collective action easier. We find support for these ideas across 111 countries, but also when exploiting within country variation in the two largest economies in the world: China and the United States. Across a host of specifications, people were less abiding by the lockdown rules in places with greater prevalence of individualistic cultural traits. We conclude that cultural factors play a critical role in successful policy implementation.
