The lockdown imposed to limit the diffusion of COVID-19 in Italy affected the economic situation negatively. The income of many households decreased, and people were forced to stay home. Both these factors influenced food consumption: on the one hand less income means less money for purchases, on the other, the negative psychological impact of lesser income and the pandemic shifted the consumption towards alcohol and tobacco. Using survey data, this paper shows how the negative economic shock due to lockdown, together with the restrictions imposed by it, affected the consumption of food items in a region of Norther Italy.
为限制新冠病毒在意大利的传播而实施的封锁对经济形势产生了负面影响。许多家庭的收入减少，人们被迫待在家里。这两个因素都影响了食品消费：一方面，收入减少意味着用于购买的资金减少；另一方面，收入减少和疫情带来的负面心理影响使消费转向了烟酒。本文利用调查数据，展示了封锁造成的负面经济冲击及其带来的限制措施是如何影响意大利北部一个地区的食品消费的。
