于二零二零年，日本政府推出Go To Eat运动，该政策措施涉及向家庭派发餐券以供在餐厅使用，旨在支持餐饮服务行业，该行业在COVID-19疫情期间因政府的“自我克制要求”而导致销售额大幅下降。本文采用非参数方法，通过检查食品服务支出、流动性、阳性聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测和工业生产指数，研究Go To Eat运动与日本COVID-19传播的关系。食品服务支出的分配在10月和11月运动开始时以及12月运动结束时发生了变化。此外，2021年1月宣布进入紧急状态后，流动性分布发生了变化。"去吃饭“运动作为一种临时补贴在经济上是有效的，它可能以一种在一段时间内难以控制的方式促进了流动性。因此，该运动对PCR阳性检测数量增加的间接影响是不可否认的。
In 2020, the Japanese government launched the Go To Eat campaign, a policy initiative involving the distribution of vouchers to households for use at restaurants, with the aim of supporting the food service industry, which had experienced a significant decrease in sales due to the government’s ‘self-restraint request’ during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper uses a nonparametric method to investigate the relationship between the Go To Eat campaign and the spread of COVID-19 in Japan by examining food service expenditures, mobility, positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, and the Indices of Industrial Production. The distribution of food service expenditures changed in October and November, when the campaign started, as well as in December, when the campaign ended. In addition, the distribution of mobility changed in January 2021, when a state of emergency was declared. The Go To Eat campaign was economically effective as a temporary subsidy, and it might have facilitated mobility in a way that was difficult to control for some time. As such, the indirect effect of the campaign on the rise in the number of positive PCR tests is undeniable.
