摘要

在英国第一次封锁的第一个月，我们研究了洗手液、一次性口罩和一次性手套的需求和支付意愿(WTP)，以及被检测人群和冠状病毒死亡人数的信息如何解释这些产品的需求和支付意愿。2020年4月10日，要测试的具体假设和要研究的具体问题在aspredicting(#38962)上进行了预登记，并于2020年4月11日在多产的英国普通人口样本中按年龄、性别和种族进行了在线调查。我们发现对这些产品有需求，估计了它们的平均WTP，并表明信息的提供影响了一次性口罩的需求(和WTP)。提供有关冠状病毒累计检测人数和冠状病毒累计死亡人数的信息，将使所述的一次性口罩需求分别增加约8个百分点[95% CI: 0.8, 15.1]和11个百分点[95% CI: 3.7, 18.2]。JEL分类:C99, D12, I12, I18

COVID-19 Information, Demand and Willingness to Pay for Protective Gear in the UK

In the first month of the UK first lockdown, we studied the demand and willingness to pay (WTP) for hand sanitizer gel, disposable face masks and disposable gloves, and how information on tested people and coronavirus deaths explains the demand and WTP for these products. The specific hypotheses to test and concrete questions to study were pre-registered in AsPredicted (#38962) on 10 April 2020, and an online survey was launched in Prolific on a sample of the UK general population representative by age, sex and ethnicity on 11 April 2020. We find that there is a demand for these products, estimate the average WTP for them, and show that the provision of information affected the demand (and WTP) for disposable face masks. Providing information on the numbers of coronavirus cumulative tested people and coronavirus cumulative deaths increases the stated demand for disposable face masks by about 8 percentage points [95% CI: 0.8, 15.1] and 11 percentage points [95% CI: 3.7, 18.2], respectively.

期刊介绍： Studies in Microeconomics seeks high quality theoretical as well as applied (or empirical) research in all areas of microeconomics (broadly defined to include other avenues of decision science such as psychology, political science and organizational behavior). In particular, we encourage submissions in new areas of Microeconomics such as in the fields of Experimental economics and Behavioral Economics. All manuscripts will be subjected to a peer-review process. The intended audience of the journal are professional economists and young researchers with an interest and expertise in microeconomics and above. In addition to full-length articles MIC is interested in publishing and promoting shorter refereed articles (letters and notes) that are pertinent to the specialist in the field of Microeconomics (broadly defined). MIC will periodically publish special issues with themes of particular interest, including articles solicited from leading scholars as well as authoritative survey articles and meta-analysis on the themed topic. We will also publish book reviews related to microeconomics, and MIC encourages publishing articles from policy practitioners dealing with microeconomic issues that have policy relevance under the section Policy Analysis and Debate.
