Pandemic Preparedness in Remote Rural Fishing Communities, Alaska and elsewhere, 2020-2021

These data were collected through three online Qualtrics surveys in 2020 and 2021. Data are provided in STATA format and linked at the respondent level across three surveys (i.e. panel data). Surveys were conducted in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska and targeted fisheries participants and local residents for participation. Related data include individual and household demographics, and health information. Also included is information from several questions asking subjects how they perceive the COVID-19-related risks and the relative importance they place on local mitigation policies. Information from a lottery question, used to determine subject earnings, is also included and is based on an experiment used in Charness and Genicot (2009). The dataset contains 1,867 observations and 258 variables and represents information from 903 subjects. Alfred Allen provided extensive assistance in creating the merged data file.
