To inform, or not to inform—that is the question Norwegian School of Economics, Norway Do people find it morally acceptable for a decision-maker to avoid information about the harmful consequences of their actions? We address this question in a large-scale experiment in which participants, acting as impartial spectators, can intervene to ensure that a decision-maker makes an informed choice. Most spectators chose to inform, even when they know the information will not affect the decision-maker’s choice and the decision-maker prefers to remain uninformed. The willingness to inform is strongly linked to support for real-world policies addressing negative externalities and viewing informed choice as duty. These results suggest that many people treat information provision as a moral obligation, not merely as a means of changing behavior. | |
