Abstract
Effective vaccination is often the only way to eliminate a major pandemic, to the extent that people welcome the cure. In general, vaccination preferences are shaped before actual vaccines are found. Factors that accelerate/ inhibit expected uptake must then be understood upfront if one hopes to nudge hesitants towards vaccination. We predict the portfolio of COVID-19 vaccination drivers through a large set of Machine Learning (ML) techniques for five European countries during the first wave of the COVID-19 and before vaccines were found and rolled out. We find better accuracy emerging from more sophisticated supervised ML techniques than regressions. While some factors are common to all ML tools, some only arise from the most accurate techniques: Gradient Boosting Machine and Support Vector Machine. In general, institutional trust (e.g. towards government actions) is a critical influencer of vaccine intent. How governments have reacted to the pandemic rise is a crucial filter as to how people will accept being vaccinated.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Industrial Integration and Management: Innovation & Entrepreneurship concentrates on the technological innovation and entrepreneurship within the ongoing transition toward industrial integration and informatization. This journal strives to offer insights into challenges, issues, and solutions associated with industrial integration and informatization, providing an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to engage in discussions from the perspectives of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Welcoming contributions, The Journal of Industrial Integration and Management: Innovation & Entrepreneurship seeks papers addressing innovation and entrepreneurship in the context of industrial integration and informatization. The journal embraces empirical research, case study methods, and techniques derived from mathematical sciences, computer science, manufacturing engineering, and industrial integration-centric engineering management.
