Incentivizing Action to Reduce Air Pollution and Susceptibility to COVID-19
REFNo: SS667ES
The main objective is to investigate a number of practical and scalable strategies to reduce waste burning through voluntary behavioral change and thereby reduce the exposure of residents to harmful air pollution.
The specific objectives are (a) to investigate whether the provision of information about the link between air pollution and the chances of contracting and dying from COVID-19 can spur action to stop waste burning, (b) to test the efficacy of a novel design where social competition that is not imposed top-down but is organized horizontally can help leaders to organize communities for positive action towards reducing waste burning.
