    RISK PERCEPTIONS AND PROTECTIVE BEHAVIORS: EVIDENCE FROM COVID-19 PANDEMIC Maria Polyakova M. Kate Bundorf Duke University Stanford University & NBER & NBER Jill DeMatteis Jialu L. Streeter Westat Stanford University Grant Miller Jonathan Wivagg Stanford University Westat & NBER April, 2021 Working Paper No. 21-022 Risk Perceptions and Protective Behaviors: Evidence from COVID-19 Pandemic.∗ M. Kate Bundorf Jill DeMatteis Grant Miller Maria Polyakova Duke University Westat Stanford University Stanford University and NBER and NBER and NBER Jialu L. Streeter Jonathan Wivagg Stanford University Westat April 28, 2021 Abstract We analyze data from a survey we administered during the COVID-19 pandemic to investigate the relationship between people's subjective risk beliefs and their protective behaviors. We report three main findings. First, on average, people substantially overestimate the absolute level of risk associated with economic activity, but have correct signals about their relative risk. Second, people who believe that they face a higher risk of infection are more likely to report avoiding economic activities. Third, government mandates restricting economic behavior attenuate the relationship between subjective risk beliefs and protective behaviors. ∗Corresponding author: Maria Polyakova ([email protected]). We are grateful to Sarah B¨ogland Aava Farhadi for excellent research assistance. We have made the de-identified survey dataset used in this manuscript available at the following link. We gratefully acknowledge in-kind survey support from Westat. 1 1 Introduction Subjective perceptions of risk guide decision making in nearly all economic domains (Hurd, 2009). While a rich theoretical literature highlights the importance of subjective beliefs for individual ac- tions, fewer studies provide empirical evidence of the link between risk perceptions and behaviors, particularly in non-laboratory settings and in high-income countries (Peltzman, 1975; Delavande, 2014; Delavande and Kohler, 2015; Mueller et al., 2021).

    Uncorrected Transcript of Evidence

    INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY COMMITTEE OF PARLIAMENT UNCORRECTED TRANSCRIPT OF EVIDENCE Given by Sir Iain Lobban Director, Government Communication Headquarters Mr Andrew Parker Director General, Security Service Sir John Sawers Chief, Secret Intelligence Service Thursday, 7 November 2013 2.00pm CHAIRMAN: Good afternoon. It is my pleasure to welcome you all here today at the first ever open evidence session of the Intelligence and Security Committee. I would like to welcome in particular our three witnesses: Sir Iain Lobban, the Director of GCHQ; Andrew Parker, the Director General of the Security Service, MI5; and Sir John Sawers, the Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. Thank you, and we are delighted to welcome you, gentlemen. This session, of course, which we as a Committee first considered a year ago, is a very significant step forward in the transparency of our Intelligence Agencies. Having an open Parliamentary evidence session will be, I believe, of real value. Of course, we will not be asking our witnesses to reveal secret information in public. Nor will we today be able to discuss our current investigation into the tragic death of Lee Rigby in Woolwich in May, since obviously we cannot prejudice the trials of the accused which is to take place in the near future. The Intelligence and Security Committee, with its new powers, investigates the operations and scrutinises the capabilities of the Intelligence Agencies, but those sessions are held behind closed doors and must remain secret. This evidence session is being broadcast with a short time delay. This is a safety mechanism to allow us to pause the broadcast if anything is inadvertently mentioned which might endanger national security or the safety of those involved in safeguarding it.

    UN Security Council debate on Iran sanctions Page 1 of 1 Last updated at 10:11 (UK time) 10 Mar 2009 UN Security Council debate on Iran sanctions 10 March 2009 Statement by John Sawers, Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the United Nations Statement by John Sawers, Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the United Nations Thank you Mr President and I'd like to join others in thanking Ambassador Takasu for this, his first report to the Council, and express my Delegation's thanks to him and his team for accepting this important responsibility and for the excellent start that they have made in leading the Committee's work. Mr President, The United Kingdom continues to have serious concerns about Iran's nuclear programme. The latest IAEA report, which issued last month, makes clear that, in defiance of UN Security Council Resolutions, Iran has refused to suspend all its proliferation sensitive nuclear activities, namely its uranium enrichment and related activities and various heavy water projects. The International Atomic Energy Authority reports that Iran now has more than 5,500 centrifuges installed, of which about 4,000 are actively enriching uranium, for which Iran has no plausible civilian use. Iran has also refused access to IAEA inspectors to the heavy water reactor at Arak, for the second time in a row. This is of particular concern because the reactor's design at Arak is ideally suited to producing plutonium, which could be used for nuclear weapons.

    The Confrontation with Iran: A Covert War By Akbar E. Torbat January 20, 2012 "Information Clearing House" --- The Control over the oil-rich regions of the Middle East and North Africa is strategically very important for the US and its Western allies. To expand their domination over the oil-rich regions, the US and its allies are trying to destabilize the countries that are not under their control so that they can install new client regimes in their place. After the US - NATO success to control the oil-rich Libya, it appears that the next would be the oil-rich Iran. In recent years, Iran has significantly progressed in science and technology. The US and its allies are concerned that Iran’s progress will deter their imperial hegemony in the Persian Gulf region. To contain Iran, the US & its allies have used the Iranian nuclear program as a pretext to weaken Iran by imposing sanctions against it. In addition to the economic sanctions that have been in effect for some time, the US and its allies have recently confronted Iran in several other fronts, including covert operations, freezing assets, cutting ties with Iran’s Central Bank, threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear installations, trying to overthrow Iran’s ally President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and media campaigns to foment a soft- coup. Here is how these actions have increased tensions between Iran and the West. Fomenting a Velvet Revolution Iran’s relations with the West improved during 1990s and early 2000s through a faction of Islamic clerics, the so-called “moderate clerics”, affiliated with the Iranian affluent and merchant class.

EXAMPLE ADVANCED BIOLOGY CURRICULUM MAP FOR THE SERENGETI RULES 54–57 2 HOW TEACHERS MIGHT USE THE SERENGETI RULES IN THE CLASSROOM The Serengeti Rules, molecular biologist Sean Carroll takes the reader on a journey through the history of the scientific discovery of many of nature’s most important regulatory mechanisms, from molecules to megafauna. In the spirit of Theodisius Dobzhansky, Carroll teaches us in The Serengeti Rules that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of regulation. Thus, at the very center of the book is the big, biological idea of homeostasis. Indeed, a key to understand- ing how living systems work and the supporting roles played by evolutionary processes is understanding how a rela- tively stable environment, be it in a cell or in an ecosystem, is maintained and regulated. Throughout the book, Carroll tells the stories of the scientists—and their discoveries—that have given us our current understanding of regulation in nature. But in the stories, Carroll also teaches the reader about the nature of science and scientific reasoning, the impor- tance of modeling, and how scientific discovery is full of determination and success but also frequented with failure.

Abstract Until the end of the Cold War the UK intelligence services were not officially acknowledged, and their personnel were banned from entering the public sphere. From 1989 the UK government began to put the intelligence services on a legal footing and release the identity of the heads of the intelligence agencies.
