Research

The Covid 19 pandemic has massively damaged human lives in many aspects. Apart from fatal damages and massive welfare losses, the pandemic also causes many societal issues, i.e., conflicts and inequality among and within different communities. The project aims (i) to investigate social preferences heterogeneity during the Covid-19 pandemic, and (ii) to examine mechanisms triggering social preferences during the Covid-19 outbreak. The study site of the project is Vietnam.
