COVID-19居家隔离令是否会增加家庭暴力？家庭收入的显著下降，加上与潜在的攻击者长期监禁，可能会增加家庭冲突。尽管家庭暴力增加有这些看似合理的原因，但经济理论预测，家庭暴力取决于家庭内部的收入分配。我们使用墨西哥城两个不同的数据源来估计COVID-19封锁对家庭暴力的影响。首先，我们使用来自家庭暴力热线的呼叫中心数据然后，我们使用官方警方报告证实了呼叫中心的调查结果。使用事件研究设计，我们发现家庭暴力要求法律的服务减少了，然而，与家庭暴力有关的心理服务要求保持不变，甚至在某些星期增加了。我们考虑了对官方警察报告的影响，发现家庭暴力警察报告下降了。我们通过考虑三种地方政策的不同影响得出结论：食品援助、禁酒令和对微型企业家的支持我们发现了暗示性证据，表明食品援助和对微型企业家的支持减轻了家庭暴力，但禁酒令对防止家庭暴力几乎没有作用。
Does the COVID-19 stay-at-home order increase domestic violence? The significant decline in household income combined with prolonged confinement with the potential assailant may increase household conflict Despite these plausible reasons for an increase in household violence, economic theory predicts that domestic violence depends on the income distribution within the household To test these effects empirically, we estimate the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on domestic violence using two different data sources in Mexico City First, we utilize call-center data from a domestic violence hotline (Linea Mujeres), and, then, we corroborate the call-center findings using official police reports Using an event-study design, we find domestic violence calls for legal services decreased, however, domestic violence-related calls for psychological services held constant and even increased in certain weeks Then, we consider the effect on official police reports and find that domestic violence police reports declined We conclude by considering the differential effects of three local policies: food assistance, the prohibition of alcohol sales, and support to micro-entrepreneurs We discover suggestive evidence that food assistance and support to micro-entrepreneurs mitigated domestic violence, but the alcohol ban did little to prevent household violence
