Do People Avoid Morally Relevant Information? Evidence from the Refugee Crisis
结合瑞典报纸点击数据和行政数据，研究发现难民比例较高的地区，人们更少阅读关于寻求庇护者的新闻，尤其是共情类文章，且与欢迎难民的活动参与度下降相关。
Abstract Combining click data from a swedish newspaper and administrative data on asylum seekers in sweden, i examine whether a larger presence of refugees in a municipality induces people to avoid news that may encourage welcoming the newcomers. Exploiting the unexpected inflow of refugees to Sweden during 2015 and their exogenous allocation across Swedish municipalities, I find that people living in municipalities where the relative number of refugees is larger read fewer articles about asylum seekers. The decrease in clicks is 36% larger for more empathic articles and is correlated with less engagement in activities aimed at welcoming refugees.
