講演タイトル[Title]： A causal identification of wishful beliefs about COVID-19 vaccines
使用言語[Language]：英語[English]
概要[Abstract] ：This study exploits a natural experiment which occurred in the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. UK residents could choose to opt into the vaccination program, but not which vaccine they received. We surveyed a sample of UK residents about their beliefs on the different COVID-19 vaccines before and after receiving their jab. We show that random assignment to a vaccine predicts a divergence of opinions about its safety and effectiveness. Before vaccination, individuals exhibit similar prior beliefs and wishes about the different vaccines. After vaccination, however, they update their beliefs optimistically about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine they received, and state greater preference for the vaccine they actually received. At the individual level, our results provide a causal identification of wishful beliefs in a real-world health setting. At the aggregated level, our data show that belief divergence can occur even when similar people hold similar priors, are exposed to similar information environments, and have no room for the ex-post rationalization of previous decisions.
