新冠肺炎疫情对2020年美国总统大选有何影响?在预分析计划的指导下,我们估计了2016年至2020年期间COVID-19病例和死亡对唐纳德·特朗普县级投票变化的影响。为了考虑潜在的混杂因素,我们纳入了大量与covid -19相关的控制以及人口和社会经济变量。此外,我们将病例和死亡人数与肉类加工厂雇用的工人比例进行比较,以加强我们的识别战略。我们发现,新冠肺炎疫情对特朗普的得票率产生了负面影响。估计的影响在城市县、没有“居家令”的州、摇摆州和特朗普在2016年获胜的州最为明显。一个简单的反事实分析表明,如果新冠肺炎病例减少5%,特朗普很可能赢得连任。我们还发现一些证据表明,新冠疫情对选民动员产生了积极影响,帮助拜登赢得了总统大选。
What is the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 US presidential election? Guided by a pre-analysis plan, we estimate the effect of COVID-19 cases and deaths on the change in county-level voting for Donald Trump between 2016 and 2020. To account for potential confounders, we include a large number of COVID-19-related controls as well as demographic and socioeconomic variables. Moreover, we instrument the numbers of cases and deaths with the share of workers employed in meat-processing factories to sharpen our identification strategy. We find that COVID-19 cases negatively affected Trump’s vote share. The estimated effect appears strongest in urban counties, in states without stay-at-home orders, in swing states, and in states that Trump won in 2016. A simple counterfactual analysis suggests that Trump would likely have won re-election if COVID-19 cases had been 5 percent lower. We also find some evidence that COVID-19 incidence had a positive effect on voters’ mobilization, helping Biden win the presidency.
