An exciting new paper about a game-theoretic model of when behavioral responses fundamentally change epidemic dynamics.
Among other things, it explains how and why some appealing public-health interventions can have paradoxical unintended consequences.
1/ pic.twitter.com/KVIuhTDTI7I like it too, but what I hate are the abstracts that sensationally emphasize the vague possibility of perverse effects, rather than emphasizing that such possibilities occur within a limited range of the parameter space.
Yes, I worry that @zeynep will go batty over this...
No reason or evidence to assume risk compensation, especially in this context. I mean, sure, I can "assume" anything and come up with "counter-intuitive" findings. Meanwhile, we have country after country where the opposite of these "counter-intuitive" findings happen.
I like models; I like game theory! I just like them grounded to reality.
