Public Mosquito Abatement: A Cluster Randomized Experiment
通过2012-2014年在法国留尼汪城市地区开展的整群随机实验，发现公共蚊虫控制措施会减少居民的个人防护行为，这对虫媒疾病（如寨卡）防控有启示。
Abstract Mosquito abatement is a public good. A simultaneous model of mosquito abundance and abatement response is developed. We then use data from a cluster randomized controlled experiment conducted over the period 2012–2014 in urban areas of Réunion in France to study the impact of WHO-recommended mechanical elimination techniques, which involve removing sources of stagnant water around the house, on a number of outcomes, including objective entomological indices and self-declared protective behaviors. Empirical results document that households reduce their protective behavior in response to public control. This study holds implications for arboviral disease control, including Zika control.
