Abstract
Using rich individual-level data, this study examines the effect of travelling on mental health in Italy. Italy is characterized by high coronavirus transmission rates during the early stages of the pandemic. Our findings confirm the existence of heterogeneous effects of domestic versus international travelling on anxiety. We find that international travelling is positively associated with anxiety, while domestic travel reduced anxiety among Italian travellers during the pandemic. There is also evidence suggesting that female travellers experience better mental health than male travellers when they travelled abroad.
