Special Issue on Behavioral Decision Theory in Health
Are we ready for the next pandemic? Public preferences and trade-offs between vaccine characteristics and societal restrictions across 21 countries
In vaccination decisions, individuals must weigh the benefits against the risks of remaining unvaccinated and potentially facing social restrictions. Previous studies have focused on individual preferences for vaccine characteristics and societal restrictions separately. This study aims to quantify public preferences and the potential trade-offs between vaccine characteristics and societal restrictions, including lockdowns and vaccine mandates, i…
An experimental investigation of social risk preferences for health
In this paper, we use the risk apportionment technique of Eeckhoudt, Rey and Schlesinger (2007) to study higher order risk preferences for others’ health as well as ex-ante and ex-post inequality preferences for social risky distributions, and their interaction. In an experiment on a sample of university students acting as impartial spectators, we observe risk aversion towards social health losses and a dislike of ex-ante inequality. In addition,…
Risk attitudes of people with 'manageable' chronic disease
Health promotion interventions can be improved using methods from behavioural economics to identify and target specific decision-making biases at the individual level. In this context, prospect theory provides a suitable framework within which decision-making processes can be operationalised. Focusing on a trade-off between health outcomes and behaviour change incurred by chronic disease management (lifestyle change, or 'self-management'), we are…
In search of a preferred preference elicitation method
Constantly Proving The Opposite? A test of CPTO using a broad time horizon and correcting for discounting
Our findings highlight the importance of elicitation methods and context dependencies in QALY measurement and warrant detailed investigation of their influence
On the (not so) constant proportional trade-off in TTO
It seems that the trade-off of life years is indeed not so constantly proportional and, therefore, that health state valuations depend on durations
Intertemporal Tradeoffs for Gains and Losses
This article provides a parameter-free measurement of utility in intertemporal choice and presents new and more robust evidence on the discounting of money outcomes. Intertemporal utility was concave for gains and convex for losses, consistent with a hypothesis put forward by Loewenstein and Prelec (1992) . Discount rates declined over time but less so than previously observed under the assumption of linear utility. For approximately 40% of our s…
