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.
Really looking forward to tomorrow. It’s going to be great!!

“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.”

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.
