“…For example, Gollier (2021) shows that vaccinating low‐risk people in vaccine‐rich countries before high‐risk people in vaccine‐poor countries worsens the global welfare consequences of the pandemic. Similarly, Więcek et al (2021) examine the nexus among supply speed, efficacy, amount per dose, the interval between the first and second doses, and mortality. Some studies investigate vaccine hesitancy to seek the policy measure to increase its demand (Alsan and Eichmeyer 2021; Gans 2021; Thunström et al 2020; Duquette 2020; Neumann‐Böhme et al 2020; Bughin et al 2021; Lazarus et al 2021).…”

This paper examines how COVID‐19 vaccinations change international trade. We analyze monthly level trade data from January 2020 to March 2022 that cover the bilateral exports from 40 reporting countries to 220 partner countries. Our findings can be summarized as follows. On average, the effects of vaccination rates in importing and exporting countries on exports were found to be insignificant. When considering the income level, we also did not find significant effects of vaccination rates in high‐ and low‐income importing countries on exports. In contrast, the rise of vaccination rates in low‐income exporting countries significantly increased their exports though no significant increase in exports was detected when vaccination rates rose in high‐income exporting countries. These results imply that since low‐income countries are mainly engaged in labor‐intensive industries, the relaxation of lockdown orders (i.e., movement and gathering restrictions) driven by the rise of vaccination rates plays a crucial role in production activities in low‐income countries.
