In the Eye of the Storm: Entrepreneurs and Well-Being During the COVID-19 Crisis
调查瑞典创业者和工薪族在新冠疫情不同阶段的数据,发现疫情增加了创业者的感知压力,但自感年轻或远离危机中心的创业者受影响较小。
In this paper, we examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being of entrepreneurs. We surveyed a representative sample of Swedish entrepreneurs and wage employees at different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey data, combined with register data, show that the COVID-19 outbreak has a negative effect on the well-being of entrepreneurs in terms of increased perceived stress. However, this negative effect is weaker for entrepreneurs who feel younger than their chronological age and entrepreneurs who are geographically distant from the epicenter of the crisis.
