The rapid spread of COVID-19 had a negative impact on public health and economic recovery worldwide. There is a large and growing literature on pandemic prevention and control. However, these existing studies seldom focus on the role of sustainable social development in this process. By setting specifications of fixed-effect models based on the score data of sustainable development goals (SDG) and infection case data from 257 Chinese cities, we evaluate the positive effect of sustainable social development on pandemic control. Our results show that sustainable social development leads to a remarkable improvement in pandemic prevention and control, especially for SDG4 (Quality Education) and SDG5 (Gender Equality). Significant positive effects of sustainable social development still exist in the post-pandemic era. This study highlights the importance of promoting social SDGs by linking them with pandemic prevention and control and suggests region-specific policies based on the heterogeneous analysis results.
新冠疫情的迅速蔓延对全球公共卫生和经济复苏产生了负面影响。关于疫情防控的文献数量众多且不断增加。然而，这些现有研究很少关注可持续社会发展在此过程中的作用。通过基于可持续发展目标（SDG）得分数据和来自中国257个城市的感染病例数据设定固定效应模型的规格，我们评估了可持续社会发展对疫情防控的积极影响。我们的结果表明，可持续社会发展显著改善了疫情防控，特别是对可持续发展目标4（优质教育）和可持续发展目标5（性别平等）。可持续社会发展在疫情后时代仍存在显著的积极影响。本研究强调了将社会可持续发展目标与疫情防控相联系以促进其实现的重要性，并根据异质性分析结果提出了因地制宜的政策建议。
