Snippet: Distorting knowledge of i. Recall that assumption (iii) that underlies the behavioral decision 165 model is that agents know the prevalence of the disease accurately. We relax this assumption to 166 investigate how distorting this information effects the SPIR model. To achieve this, we replace i 167 with i 1 /κ in the calculation of utilities where κ serves as a distortion factor. When κ = 1, i is not 168 distorted; when κ > 1, the agent perc.....
Document: Distorting knowledge of i. Recall that assumption (iii) that underlies the behavioral decision 165 model is that agents know the prevalence of the disease accurately. We relax this assumption to 166 investigate how distorting this information effects the SPIR model. To achieve this, we replace i 167 with i 1 /κ in the calculation of utilities where κ serves as a distortion factor. When κ = 1, i is not 168 distorted; when κ > 1, the agent perceives i to be above its real value and when κ < 1 the 169 opposite is true. To implement this distortion, we simply redefine f X in the expected waiting 170 time equations (i.e. Eqs. (3)- (7)) with f X = i 1 /κ b S when X = S and f X = i 1 /κ Ïb S when X = P. 171
