This study investigates the relationship between economic preferences and COVID-19 vaccination readiness using two representative samples of the German population (N 5,000). We elicited altruism, patience, risk-taking and trust using validated survey questions. We find robust, positive...

Large, macroeconomic shocks in the past have been shown to influence economic decisions in the present. We study in an experiment with 743 subjects whether small-scale, seemingly negligible, events also affect the formation of risk preferences. In line with a reinforcement learning model, we...
