This research article examines the dual impact of protests on COVID-19 spread, a challenge for policymakers balancing public health and the right to assemble. Using a game theoretical model, it shows that protests can shift infection risks between counties, creating a dilemma for regulators. The empirical study analyzes two German protests in November 2020 using proprietary data from a bus-shuttle service, finding evidence to support the assumption that protests can shift infection risks. The article concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for policymakers, highlighting that regulators’ individually rational strategic decisions may lead to inefficient outcomes.
