The Power of Perception: Limitations of Information in Reducing Air Pollution Exposure 1: Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University; 2: Inter-American Development Bank; 3: University of Southern California; 4: Amazon We conduct a randomized controlled trial in Mexico City. Households that receive SMS alerts are more likely to report receiving air pollution information via SMS, a high pollution day in the past week, and staying indoors on the most recent perceived high pollution day, but are not more likely to correctly identify days with high pollution. Similarly, households that received an N95 mask are more likely to report utilizing a mask in the past two weeks, but not on high particulate matter days. A theoretical model shows that this seemingly puzzling behavior could be consistent with learning from the alerts. | |
