本研究从理论和实证两个方面分析了不具法律约束力的新冠肺炎政策对人们走出去行为的影响。理论分析假设，在宣布的紧急状态下，外出的人会因感染风险和外出的耻辱而蒙受心理损失。我们的假设是，在宣布的紧急状态下，人们不愿外出，因为这会带来巨大的心理成本。然后，本研究使用区域流动数据和紧急状态声明数据来估计一个模型来分析无法律约束力紧急状态声明下的自我约束行为。结果表明，与紧急状态宣布前相比，紧急状态下的出行行为受到抑制，即使在出行解除后也没有受到处罚，这与理论分析是一致的。
This study conducts both theoretical and empirical analyses of how non-legally-binding COVID-19 policies affect people’s going-out behavior. The theoretical analysis assumes that under a declared state of emergency, the individual going out suffers psychological costs arising from both the risk of infection and the stigma of going out. Our hypothesis states that under a declared state of emergency people refrain from going out because it entails a strong psychological cost. Then, this study estimates a model using regional mobility data and emergency declarations data to analyze self-restraint behavior under a non-legally binding emergency declaration. The results show that, compared with before the declaration of the state of emergency, going-out behavior was suppressed under the state of emergency and after it was lifted even when going out did not result in penalties, which is consistent with the theoretical analysis.
