Les auteurs examinent les effets de la pollution sur l'offre de travail, sous un angle peu étudié: la publication d'informations sur la pollution. S'appuyant sur le lancement du programme national de publication des chiffres de la pollution atmosphérique en Chine, ils montrent, grâce à une analyse en doubles différences et à des données d'enquête sur les travailleurs migrants, que la publicité de ces données a entraîné une baisse significative du temps de travail des métiers en extérieur, donc un changement de comportement, et que mesurer le coût de la pollution sans prendre en compte le problème de l'asymétrie de l'information pourrait engendrer des biais.
