Pan-European Response to the Impacts of COVID-19 and future Pandemics and Epidemics

PERISCOPE investigates the broad socio-economic and behavioral impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to make Europe more resilient and prepared for future large-scale risks. 32 partner institutions from 15 European countries are part of the PERISCOPE project. This sub-project led by TUM examines how citizens respond to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and what implications it has for their everyday lives. Specifically, it analyses citizens' willingness to comply to physical distancing regulations, get vaccinated or use warning apps on smartphones. Focus is put on behavioural determinants of these behaviours, including trust in governments, health institutions and media, altruistic preferences, risk perceptions, and time preferences.
