Using new high-frequency data that covers a representative sample of small businesses in the United States, this study investigates the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting state policies on the hospitality industry. First, business closure policies are associated with a 20-30% reduction of non-salaried workers in the food/drink and leisure/entertainment sectors during March-April of 2020. Second, business reopening policies play a statistically significant role in slowly reviving the labor market. Third, considerable differences exist in the impact of policies on the labor market by state. Fourth, the rise of new COVID-19 cases on a daily basis is associated with the continued deterioration of the labor market. Lastly, managerial, practical, and economic implications are described.
本研究利用涵盖美国小企业代表性样本的新高频数据，调查了新冠疫情及由此产生的州政策对酒店业的影响。首先，企业关闭政策与2020年3月至4月期间食品/饮料和休闲/娱乐行业非受薪工人减少20%至30%有关。其次，企业重新开业政策在缓慢复苏劳动力市场方面发挥了具有统计学意义的作用。第三，各州政策对劳动力市场的影响存在相当大的差异。第四，每日新增新冠病例的增加与劳动力市场的持续恶化有关。最后，阐述了管理、实践和经济方面的影响。
