The Demand for Clean Air: Experimental Evidence from Delhi 1: University of British Columbia; 2: University of Chicago; 3: Pharo Foundation; 4: University of Chicago Do hazardous levels of air pollution in developing countries reflect low public demand for air quality or incomplete information about its benefits? This paper reports on a experiment that 1) elicits the demand for clean air by combining pollution mask offers with ambient variation in air quality and 2) tests for demand-limiting market failures in information. We find low-income residents of Delhi, India would pay $1.16 for a 10-unit reduction in PM2.5, but that value increases to $6.33 when health impacts are described beforehand. Notably, the information effects are largest for respondents with less income and education. | |
