摘要

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spread globally from its outbreak in Chinain early 2020, negatively affecting economies and industries on a global scale. In line with historiccrises and shock events including the 2002-04 SARS outbreak, the 2011 Christchurch earthquakeand 2017 Hurricane Irma, COVID-19 has significantly impacted global economic conditions, causingsignificant economic downturns, company and industry failures, and increased unemployment.To understand how conditions created by the pandemic to date compare to the aforementioned shockevents, we conducted a thorough literature review focusing on the presentation of panic buying andherd mentality behaviours, changes to discretionary consumer spending as defined by Maslow’sHierarchy of Needs, and the impact of global media on these behaviours. The methodology utilisedto analyse panic buying, herd mentality and altered patterns of consumer discretionary spending(according to Maslow’s theory) involved an analysis of consumer spending data, largely focusedon Australian and American markets. Here, we analysed the volume and timing of consumerspending patterns; the volumes of spending on specific, highly-demanded consumer goods duringthe investigative period; and the distribution of spending on luxury and non-durable goods to identifythe occurrence of these consumer behaviours. Moreover, to identify the presence of the media ininfluencing consumer behaviour we focused on web traffic to media sites, alongside keyword andphrase data mining. We conclude that, to date, consumer behaviour during the COVID-19 crisisappears to align with behaviours exhibited during historic shock events. We hope to contribute to thebody of research on the early months of this pandemic before longer-term studies are available.
