Air Quality and Conferences' Engagement 1: University of Warwick, United Kingdom; 2: University of Southampton Delhi; 3: University of Oxford; 4: Universidad del Rosario; 5: Warwick Business School We examine the effect of air pollution on participation, collaboration, and feedback provision in a workplace setting. We randomly assigns air purifiers to rooms at three academic conferences to investigate the impact of air pollution on participants’ engagement behavior. We construct a participant engagement index based on behavioral outcomes measured by conference observers, using weights elicited from an expert survey. Rooms treated with air purifiers exhibit 48% less PM2.5 concentration. However, we do not find a statistically significant change in engagement. Communication in the workplace might not be a large driver of the empirical relationship between air quality and productivity. | |
