Re-Calibrating Beliefs About Peers: Direct Impacts and Cross-Learning Effects in Agriculture

“…Although related, the focus of our work differs from previous literature, since we explore how beliefs about peers shape individual decision-making about ES, accounting for the fact that farmers may hold inaccurate beliefs regarding descriptive social norms. Our work then speaks more generally to the literature on the role of beliefs about peers, showing that people's perceptions about others play an important role in a variety of settings, including energy saving behavior (Jachimowicz et al, 2018), protest participation (Cantoni et al, 2019), COVID-19 vaccination (Vriens et al, 2023;Angerer et al, 2024), and women's participation in the job market (Bursztyn et al, 2020). This literature has been summarized in Bursztyn and Yang (2022), which provides a meta-analysis of the empirical literature that examines perceptions about others.…”

“…The interest in beliefs about peers has gained in importance in recent years, in particular in the study of perceived prevailing social norms (see e.g., Bursztyn et al 2020, d'Adda et al 2020, Vriens et al 2023, Angerer et al 2024). 1 In the agricultural context, the assessment of the role of beliefs about peers is relevant, as evidenced by the literature that has emphasized the pivotal role of social norms for farmers, in particular as a driver for the adoption of new environmentally-friendly practices (Dessart et al, 2019;Schaub et al, 2023;Wuepper et al, 2023).…”

“…The sources for information may vary, but in experiments that aim to change beliefs about others, researchers tend to provide respondents with information about the views of others as measured in other prior surveys (Bursztyn et al, 2020;Haaland et al, 2023). The re-calibration of beliefs has taken place in various contexts and for various types of behaviors, including inflation expectations (Coibion et al, 2023), expectation about others' participation in protests (Cantoni et al, 2019), the intention of others to vaccinate (Vriens et al, 2023;Angerer et al, 2024), and other's energy conservation behaviours (Jachimowicz et al, 2018).…”

Vaccine‐skeptic physicians and patient vaccination decisions

“…early in the vaccination campaign. Angerer et al (2023) show in a vignette experiment that the type of approval procedure significantly affects trust in a vaccine and vaccination intentions.…”
