Hsaio Releases Research on How Politics Matters for Individual Attitudes Toward Whether to Donate Vaccines to Other Countries
CSDE Affiliate Yuan Hsaio, and Co-Authors, have released a new article entitled “Politics Matters for Individual Attitudes Toward Vaccine Donation: Cross-National Evidence from the United States and Taiwan” in Globalization and Health.
This is a cross-national project that discusses commonalities and differences between Taiwanese and US citizens. They show that apart from humanitarian and capability considerations, political factors also significantly impact individuals’ decisions regarding vaccine donations. Both American and Taiwanese people prefer democracies over authoritarian countries to donate vaccines. Nonetheless, Taiwanese people tend to donate vaccines and deliver more vaccines to countries having formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan compared to those without formal diplomatic relations. By contrast, American people would rather donate vaccines and deliver more vaccines to countries without formal diplomatic relations with the United States. This study has implications for global health equity by incorporating a political perspective in the study of public health.
