Abstract
Using the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and other county- and city-level datasets, we examined the effect of pollution information disclosure (PID) on household electricity use in China. The results show that PID led to a significant increase in the sensitivity of household electricity consumption to changes in air quality, particularly in higher-income and more educated households and in more polluted cities. This finding may be attributed to enhanced public awareness of pollution risk and subsequent behavioral responses. We highlight the need for holistic policies based on the interplay between environmental awareness, behavioral change, and energy consumption.
