我们研究了 2020 年 4 月 1 日生效的美国临时带薪病假规定对自我隔离的影响，以从蜂窝设备收集的身体移动行为为代表。我们使用广义双重差分法研究这项政策，利用政策前县级可能有资格享受带薪病假福利的工人比例的异质性。我们发现，该政策导致人们以待在家里为代表的自我隔离人数增加。我们还发现，实施政策后，COVID-19 确诊病例数有所下降。
We study the impact of a temporary U.S. paid sick leave mandate that became effective April 1st, 2020 on self‐quarantining, proxied by physical mobility behaviors gleaned from cellular devices. We study this policy using generalized difference‐in‐differences methods, leveraging pre‐policy county‐level heterogeneity in the share of workers likely eligible for paid sick leave benefits. We find that the policy leads to increased self‐quarantining as proxied by staying home. We also find that COVID‐19 confirmed cases decline post‐policy.
