COVID-19已成为全球健康大流行病，迫使各国政府采取前所未有的措施遏制病毒的传播。2020年3月23日，英国政府向全国发表讲话，宣布采取非常措施，以减缓冠状病毒的传播，这影响了数百万人的福祉和财务状况。因此，人们不得不作出艰难的调整，并采取不同的应对战略，以应对收入损失。本研究的主要目的，是按性别及种族背景，探讨封锁措施对受访者主观幸福感的影响。我们采用差异中的差异框架，使用英国家庭纵向研究（UKHLS）的数据结合2020年4月进行的UKHLS COVID-19调查。此外，我们使用生活满意度方法（LSA）估计所采取应对策略的福祉成本，即将个人福祉恢复到2019冠状病毒病期间之前的水平所需的金额。结果表明，应对收入损失的策略对幸福感有显著的不利影响，相关成本在250- 3500英镑之间，这在性别和种族群体之间存在显著差异。JEL分类：C1，I14，I31
COVID-19 has become a global health pandemic forcing governments introducing unprecedented steps to contain the spread of the virus. On the 23rd of March, 2020, the UK government addressed the nation to announce extraordinary measures as a response to slow down the spread of the coronavirus, which have influenced the well-being and finances of millions of people. As a result people had to make difficult adjustments and to follow different coping strategies in order to respond to income losses. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of various coping strategies, due to the lockdown measures, on the respondents’ subjective well-being by gender and ethnic background. We apply a difference-in-differences framework using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) combined with the UKHLS COVID-19 survey conducted in April 2020. Furthermore, using the Life Satisfaction Approach (LSA), we estimate the well-being costs of the coping strategies adopted that denote the amount required to revert individual’s well-being into the levels were before Covid-19 period. The results show that coping strategies with the earning losses have a significant detrimental impact on well-being and the related costs range between £250-3,500, which are significantly varied by gender and ethnic group.JEL Classification: C1, I14, I31
