Abstract

To assess the promotion of life saving behaviors and determine the sustainability of nudge message effects, this paper examines nudges that promote evacuation during heavy rainfall, preventative COVID-19 infection behaviors, and COVID-19 vaccination. The results showed that altruistic gain messages may have more sustained effects than others in promoting both evacuation during heavy rainfall and contact reduction behaviors as a measure against COVID-19 infection. Specifically, social influence nudges that use a gain frame to convey that a person's behavior promotes the behavior of others are effective for both heavy rainfall evacuations and encouraging COVID-19 vaccination.

轻推能拯救生命吗?

为了评估对救生行为的促进作用并确定助推信息效应的可持续性，本文考察了在强降雨期间促进疏散、预防性COVID-19感染行为和COVID-19疫苗接种的助推信息。结果表明，在促进强降雨期间的疏散和减少接触行为作为对抗COVID-19感染的措施方面，利他性增益信息可能比其他信息具有更持久的影响。具体来说，使用增益框架来传达一个人的行为会促进他人的行为的社会影响推动，对于强降雨疏散和鼓励COVID-19疫苗接种都是有效的。

期刊介绍： Started in 1950 by a group of leading Japanese economists under the title The Economic Studies Quarterly, the journal became the official publication of the Japanese Economic Association in 1959. As its successor, The Japanese Economic Review has become the Japanese counterpart of The American Economic Review, publishing substantial economic analysis of the highest quality across the whole field of economics from researchers both within and outside Japan. It also welcomes innovative and thought-provoking contributions with strong relevance to real economic issues, whether political, theoretical or policy-oriented.
