論 題:An Analysis of Peer Effects on Vaccination Behavior Using a Model Privately Provided Public Goods.

論文の概要:Traditional economic models of vaccination behavior simply assume that agents free-ride on the vaccination decisions of others. We first conduct two empirical studies using Japanese data in these models. The first empirical analysis, using a data set on the vaccination behavior of neighbors residing in the same block of a city, finds the existence of positive peer effects on individual's vaccination decisions. The second empirical analysis also confirms that there are peer effects on the vaccination decisions of members of the same household using a dataset from the national survey we conduct. We also provide two private provision models of a public good with simultaneous and sequential moves augmented by social preferences to explain how a positive peer effect regarding vaccination behavior arises.
