We investigate how individuals react to variations in COVID-19 reporting. Using a survey, we elicit individuals' perceived infection risk given various COVID-19 metrics (e.g., confirmed cases, reproduction rate, or case-fatality ratio). We proxy individuals' risk perception with their willingness to pay for the participation in everyday life and amusements events. We find that participants react to different COVID-19 metrics with varying sensitivity. We observe a saturation of sensitivity for several measures at critical limits used in the political discussion, making our results highly relevant for policy makers in their efforts to direct individuals to adhere to hygienic etiquette and social distancing guidelines.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":"1","quality_controlled":"1","jel":["I10","I12","I18"],"date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:55:36Z","type":"journal_article","publication":"Covid Economics","article_type":"original","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://cepr.org/file/11142/download?token=wXdlx51o","open_access":"1"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"67265","citation":{"chicago":"Warkulat, Sonja, Sebastian Krull, Regina Ortmann, Nina Klocke, and Matthias Pelster. “COVID-19 Reporting and Willingness to Pay for Leisure Activities.” <i>Covid Economics</i>, no. 83 (2021): 183–205.","apa":"Warkulat, S., Krull, S., Ortmann, R., Klocke, N., &#38; Pelster, M.
