The role of information in energy and environmental policies is receiving extensive attention. This paper examines the impact of pollution information on residents' life satisfaction and its channels in China. A difference-in-difference (DID) approach is used to match China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data with information disclosure data to find the negative impact of PM information disclosure on residents' life satisfaction. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the negative effects of information disclosure are more pronounced among young and middle-aged groups, residents with good physical conditions, higher education, higher income, and urban residents. The mechanism analysis indicates that the perception, avoidance, and envy effect are three important channels of influence. These findings provide some insights for public policy formulation aimed at enhancing the well-being of an entire population, such as paying attention to the psychological impact of policy implementation on different groups of people.
信息在能源和环境政策中的作用受到广泛关注。本文考察了污染信息对居民生活满意度的影响及其在中国的作用渠道。本文采用双重差分（DID）方法，将中国家庭追踪调查（CFPS）数据与信息披露数据相匹配，发现 PM 信息披露对居民生活满意度的负面影响。异质性分析表明，信息披露的负面效应在中青年群体、身体状况较好、受教育程度较高、收入较高和城镇居民中更为明显。机制分析表明，感知、回避和嫉妒效应是三个重要的影响渠道。这些发现为旨在提高整个人口福祉的公共政策制定提供了一些思路，例如关注政策实施对不同人群的心理影响。
