摘要城市食品市场是食品分销的重要渠道，也是COVID-19容易传播的社会互动空间。秘鲁政府利用预算激励措施激励地方政府在这些市场实施社交距离和食品安全措施。2020年5月和11月的两项调查显示，私有市场的合规性优于私有市场或供应商拥有的市场，特别是在供应商保护措施和公共空间适应方面。定性访谈有助于确定解释这一发现的合理因果机制。地方政府认为公共资金投资于私有市场受到法律的限制，而供应商拥有的市场在关于所需集体投资的决策中面临代理困境和机会主义行为。我们认为，专门针对供应商拥有的市场的小额赠款或贷款机制可以减少这些治理挑战，提高合规性。秘鲁支持粮食市场治理的预算激励政策可以激励其他国家设计适当的粮食安全和公共卫生政策工具。
Abstract Urban food markets are essential channels of food distribution and spaces of social interaction where COVID-19 could be easily transmitted. The Peruvian government used budget incentives to motivate local governments to implement social distancing and food safety measures in these markets. Two surveys, in May and November 2020, show that municipality-owned markets had better compliance than privately or vendor-owned markets, especially with vendor protection measures and common space adaptations. Qualitative interviews helped to identify plausible causal mechanisms that explain this finding. Local governments perceived legal restrictions to investing public funds in privately owned markets, while vendor-owned markets faced agency dilemmas and opportunistic behaviour in decision-making about the required collective investments. We argue that a small-grants or loan facility specifically targeted at vendor-owned markets could have reduced these governance challenges and improved compliance. Peru’s budget incentive policy to support food market governance could inspire other countries to design appropriate policy instruments for food safety and public health.
