Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between public science literacy and co-production in combating the COVID-19 pandemic using data from 140 Chinese cities. It finds a significant positive correlation: a 1% increase in science literacy leads to a 14.2% rise in co-production. Regional education levels and local government capacity amplify this positive effect. The study also reveals heterogeneity in this relationship across pandemic stages, regions, and city sizes.
