摘要

我们使用瑞典70多万人的个人水平数据，研究了认知能力与及时接种新冠肺炎疫苗之间的关系。我们发现认知能力和快速接种疫苗之间存在着强烈的正相关关系，即使在用双胞胎设计控制了混杂变量后，这种关系仍然存在。研究结果表明，疫苗接种决策的复杂性可能会使认知能力较低的人难以理解疫苗接种的好处。与此一致的是，我们表明，通过预先预约疫苗接种来简化疫苗接种决策，几乎可以缓解所有疫苗接种行为的不平等。

Cognitive ability, health policy, and the dynamics of COVID-19 vaccination

We examine the relationship between cognitive ability and prompt COVID-19 vaccination using individual-level data on more than 700,000 individuals in Sweden. We find a strong positive association between cognitive ability and swift vaccination, which remains even after controlling for confounding variables with a twin-design. The results suggest that the complexity of the vaccination decision may make it difficult for individuals with lower cognitive abilities to understand the benefits of vaccination. Consistent with this, we show that simplifying the vaccination decision through pre-booked vaccination appointments alleviates almost all of the inequality in vaccination behavior.
