It compares the different characteristics and effectiveness of information sources from the government, the news media, professionals in the field (health care workers), non-professional ordinary people, and the close environment, including family, friends, and colleagues. The consumer externality is the key concept in the analyses, as it identifies the effects of one's own consumption on the actions of others in constrained situations such as pandemics. Data from surveys conducted in Japan, the United States, and Germany suggest some implications for policymaking during a pandemic. One is related to differences in the characteristics of information. For example, information from experts in the field is perceived differently than information from other sources. Similarly, information from authorized organizations such as government and the news media remains critical in an emergency. Another relates to behavioral changes caused by the provision of information. Clearly, the effects of information on behavior change depend on the characteristics of the activity being addressed. We examine the effects on out-of-home and in-home activities during the pandemic, both of which focus on leisure activities, and show that the effects of information on each activity are quite different. Overall, this book provides empirical evidence for the importance of information dissemination policies that work with appropriate information providers and take into account country-specific attitudes to information. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Economics,$x2191-5512 606 $aEconomics$xPsychological aspects 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods 606 $aMedical policy 606 $aCommunication in medicine 606 $aBehavioral Economics 606 $aPublic Economics 606 $aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy 606 $aHealth Policy 606 $aHealth Communication 615 0$aEconomics$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aMedical policy. 615 0$aCommunication in medicine. 615 14$aBehavioral Economics. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy. 615 24$aHealth Policy. 615 24$aHealth Communication. 676 $a330.019 700 $aNakamura$b Eri$01885645 701 $aMizutani$b Fumitoshi$01885646 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049205603321 996 $aBehavioral Change by Information Provision in a Pandemic$94520948 997 $aUNINA
