New CEA report estimates that spending on the COVID-19 vaccine (R&D + deployment) cost about $50k per American life saved. That's ~200x better than the normal statistical value of a life standard used across government and doesn't account for benefits to the rest of the world.

Curious about the state of benefit-cost analysis in prevention science? Still time to register for @DMaxCrowley’s lecture on 💰The Value of Prevention💰@UofSC Cntr for Child Wellbeing—hybrid on 4/1. @SPRORG @NPSCoalition @PRCPennState Register ➡️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…


“People change when they think others are changing, but people misperceive others’ changes. These misperceptions may bedevil people’s efforts to understand and change their social worlds, distort the democratic process, and turn imaginary trends into real ones.”

Published today in PNAS: people don't know how American public opinion has changed. I've been working on this for a very long time and I'm excited to share it. Here's a thread so you don't have to read the paper. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Using willingness-to-pay (WTP) as an outcome variable in your study? Try also eliciting WTP for a "benchmark good" -- one unrelated to your outcome or independent variables of interest. Include it as a control in your regressions. Can improve power a lot! among other benefits.
