美国州长对COVID-19大流行的反应是什么？在本研究报告中，我们探讨了执行居家令的决定因素，重点关注了疫情初期省长的特征。在我们最保守的估计中，作为一名民主党州长，执行居家令的可能性增加了50%以上。此外，我们发现，实施全州范围内的呆在家里的命令的可能性是约40%的州长没有任期限制比州长任期限制。我们还发现，民主党州长和没有任期限制的州长比共和党州长和有任期限制的州长更快地采取全州范围的命令。有证据表明，在这些不寻常的时期，政治照常。
What has been the response of U.S. governors to the COVID-19 pandemic? In this research note, we explore the determinants of implementing stay-at-home orders, focusing on governors' characteristics in the early stage of the pandemic. In our most conservative estimate, being a Democratic governor increased the probability of implementing a stay-at-home order by more than 50%. Moreover, we found that the probability of implementing a statewide stay-at-home order was about 40% more likely for governors without term limits than governors with term limits. We also found that Democratic governors and governors without term limits were significantly faster to adopt statewide orders than Republican governors and governors with term limits. There is evidence of politics as usual in these unusual times.
