Eiji Yamamura et al., « Surname Order and Revaccination Intentions: The Effect of Mixed-Gender Lists on Gender Differences during the COVID-19 Pandemic », arXiv - économie
This study probes the effects of Japan's traditional alphabetical surname-based call system on students' experiences and long-term behavior. It reveals that early listed surnames enhance cognitive and non-cognitive skill development. The adoption of mixed-gender lists since the 1980s has amplified this effect, particularly for females. Furthermore, the study uncovers a strong correlation between childhood surname order and individuals' intention for COVID-19 revaccination, while changes in adulthood surnames do not exhibit the same influence. The implications for societal behaviors and policy are substantial and wide-ranging.
