Abstract

Behavioral economics can provide information about human behavior preferences and ways of thinking. The development of behavioral economics is mature enough, and various theories are based on experimental data. This paper mainly discusses the changing process of human behavior preferences and thinking mode under the outbreak of the epidemic. As it can be seen from human history, the large-scale global spread of Covid-19 has been rare, which has led to insufficient experience in this field that behavioral economics can learn from. The research in this paper mainly obtains relevant experimental data through the research literature of behavioral economics on the epidemic, psychological theories, and news. Through some research examples, the paper proves that some behavioral economics theories can be used to provide information for policy making. The initial supply of vaccines is insufficient, and the allocation policy is optimized by adopting more appropriate behavioral economics theories.
