Abstract

We study the effect of education on vaccination against COVID in Germany in a sample of individuals above the age of 60. In ordinary least squares regressions, we find that, in this age group, one more year of education goes along with a 0.7 percentage point increase in the likelihood to get a COVID vaccination. In two stage least squares regressions where changes in compulsory schooling laws are used as exogenous variation for education, the effect of an additional year of education is estimated to be zero. The results hold for the compliers to the policy change which are older individuals at the lowest margin of education.

义务教育对预防COVID疫苗接种的影响。

我们在德国60岁以上的个体样本中研究了教育对COVID疫苗接种的影响。在普通最小二乘回归中，我们发现，在这个年龄组中，每多受一年教育，获得COVID疫苗接种的可能性就会增加0.7个百分点。在两阶段最小二乘回归中，义务教育法的变化被用作教育的外生变化，估计额外一年教育的影响为零。该结果适用于政策变化的顺应者，即受教育程度最低的老年人。

期刊介绍： This Journal publishes articles on all aspects of health economics: theoretical contributions, empirical studies and analyses of health policy from the economic perspective. Its scope includes the determinants of health and its definition and valuation, as well as the demand for and supply of health care; planning and market mechanisms; micro-economic evaluation of individual procedures and treatments; and evaluation of the performance of health care systems. Contributions should typically be original and innovative. As a rule, the Journal does not include routine applications of cost-effectiveness analysis, discrete choice experiments and costing analyses. Editorials are regular features, these should be concise and topical. Occasionally commissioned reviews are published and special issues bring together contributions on a single topic. Health Economics Letters facilitate rapid exchange of views on topical issues. Contributions related to problems in both developed and developing countries are welcome.
