| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to address how vaccination subsidies influence people vaccination behavior as well as health outcomes in the community. Using municipality-level panel dataset in Japan, I found that subsidies for the elderly significantly reduced the duration of “high alert” for influenza epidemic by approximately 20%, suggesting the availability of subsides had a positive impact on community-wide health outcomes.
