在2019冠状病毒病全球迅速蔓延之际，许多政府在全国范围内实施了封锁，可能造成严重的福祉后果。在这方面，南非是一个极端的例子，它的福祉水平很低，但同时又执行非常严格的封锁规定。在这项研究中，我们分析了封锁的因果效应，因此，在上述期间幸福的决定因素。采用差分法对封锁对幸福的影响进行因果推断，并采用OLS估计调查封锁后幸福的决定因素。结果表明，封锁对幸福感有显著的负面影响。在分析封锁后幸福感的决定因素时，我们发现，在此期间，居家令对幸福感产生了积极影响。另一方面，其他封锁规定，如禁止酒类销售、担心失业和更依赖社交媒体，都会产生负面影响，最终导致幸福感的净损失。有趣的是，以每天新增死亡人数为代表的Covid-19与幸福感呈倒u型关系。在新冠肺炎爆发之初，人们似乎对低致死率和高康复率持积极乐观态度。然而，随着疫情的发展，他们变得更加担心，这种关系发生了变化，变成了负相关，随着新死亡人数的增加，人们的幸福感也在下降。
Amidst the rapid global spread of Covid-19, many governments enforced country-wide lockdowns, with likely severe well-being consequences. In this regard, South Africa is an extreme case suffering from low levels of well-being, but at the same time enforcing very strict lockdown regulations. In this study, we analyse the causal effect of a lockdown and consequently, the determinants of happiness during the aforementioned. A difference-in-difference approach is used to make causal inferences on the lockdown effect on happiness, and an OLS estimation investigates the determinants of happiness after lockdown. The results show that the lockdown had a significant and negative impact on happiness. In analysing the determinants of happiness after lockdown, we found that stay-at-home orders have positively impacted happiness during this period. On the other hand, other lockdown regulations such as a ban on alcohol sales, a fear of becoming unemployed and a greater reliance on social media have negative effects, culminating in a net loss in happiness. Interestingly, Covid-19, proxied by new deaths per day, had an inverted U-shape relationship with happiness. Seemingly people were, at the onset of Covid-19 positive and optimistic about the low fatality rates and the high recovery rates. However, as the pandemic progressed, they became more concerned, and this relationship changed and became negative, with peoples' happiness decreasing as the number of new deaths increased.
