Abstract

Models that make predictions about the COVID-19 pandemic are complicated by the fact that people change their behaviour in response to these predictions. Lucie White (Leibniz University Hannover) discusses how we can deal with this, based on a recent paper with Philippe van Basshuysen (LUH and LSE), Donal Khosrowi (LUH) and Mathias Frisch (LUH).
