Thought for Food: Nutritional Information and Educational Disparities in Diet
通过离散选择实验，研究营养信息如何影响不同教育背景人群的饮食选择，发现营养知识是饮食差异的重要原因，但即使提供明确信息，低教育人群仍更不重视健康后果。
Higher-educated individuals are healthier and live longer than their lower-educated peers. One reason is that lower-educated individuals tend to consume lower-quality diets, but it is not fully understood why they do so. We designed a discrete-choice experiment to investigate how provision of nutritional information affects dietary choices of lower- and higher-educated individuals. We find that nutritional knowledge is responsible for a large part of the disparity in dietary choices. However, even when faced with the most explicit nutritional information, lower-educated individuals still state choices that suggest a lower value for negative health consequences.
