Disease perception and preventive behavior: The vaccination response to local measles outbreaks

Author

  • Hofmann, Sarah

Abstract

This paper examines the role of perceived disease risk in vaccination behavior. Using health insurance claims data, I estimate the effect of local measles outbreaks in Germany on first- and second-dose measles vaccinations in children as well as catch-up vaccinations in adults.
