Behaviour
We evaluate the impact of government-mandated proof of vaccination
requirements for access to public venues and non-essential businesses on
COVID-19 vaccine uptake. We find that the announcement of a mandate is
associated with a rapid and significant surge in new vaccinations (more
than 60% increase in weekly first doses), using the variation in the
timing of these measures across Canadian provinces in a
difference-in-differences approach. Time-series analysis for each
province and for France, Italy, and Germany corroborates this finding.
Counterfactual simulations using our estimates suggest the following
cumulative gains in the vaccination rate among the eligible population
(age 12 and over) as of October 31, 2021: up to 5 percentage points
(p.p.) for Canadian provinces, adding up to 979,000 first doses in total
for Canada (5 to 13 weeks after the provincial mandate announcements), 8
p.p. for France (16 weeks post-announcement), 12 p.p. for Italy (14
weeks post-announcement) and 4.7 p.p. for Germany (11 weeks
post-announcement). This paper is widely covered by government agencies
such as CDC, and numerous media such as The
