Abstract

To investigate the impact of public health emergencies on the consumption structure of urban residents, this paper focuses on the consumption of urban residents residing in Chengdu during the period of the Corona Virus Disease that emerged on August 25, 2022, and analyzes and evaluates the data results after a questionnaire survey. This study concludes that external factors such as the epidemic and individual consumer characteristics jointly affect consumption levels and consumption structures; differences in specific groups can also cause changes in residents' consumption levels. Finally, based on the analysis and conclusions, relevant policy recommendations are given.
