Although medical and public health research has explored heterogeneity in support for MAiD, economic perspectives on the issue are limited. We study how economic and non-economic factors affect public support for MAiD. We conceptualize that an observer’s evaluation of MAiD depends on the patient’s well-being, societal impacts, and moral judgments. We report results from three survey experiments with U.S. participants that vary these aspects of the decision environment. We find that although deteriorations in health and financial circumstances equally reduce perceived well-being, financial impairments generate less support for MAiD than health impairments. We also show that that participants are more supportive of MAiD when poor health outcomes are medically unavoidable rather than due to financial constraints, reinforcing the primacy of health over financial hardship in these judgments. Finally, concerns about public healthcare expenditures do not affect support for MAiD. Our findings indicate that, even in economically significant contexts, moral and ethical considerations dominate financial trade-offs in public attitudes toward MAiD.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><br>If you are interested in meeting Nicola Lacetera<span style='color:red'> </span>(meeting slots of 30’) you can register via this link:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><a href="https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/ATYFB7qvRZxk3fAP">https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/ATYFB7qvRZxk3fAP</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Sylvia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
