Is ambiguity always adverse? Empirical evidence from the wireless emergency alerts during the pandemic
Wireless emergency alerts (WEAs) have become a crucial information system to notify residents of potential hazards in their vicinity. Using a large transaction dataset, we investigate (1) how WEAs influence offline and online transactions as a proxy to public mobility, and (2) how different types of information in WEAs affect transactions. Our results indicate that WEAs that only notify the occurrence of confirmed cases can significantly reduce public mobility compared to those that provide information on the exact movement of the patient. Further analysis suggests that the treatment effects of such WEAs are more pronounced in high-income areas.
期刊介绍:
The common thread of articles published in Decision Support Systems is their relevance to theoretical and technical issues in the support of enhanced decision making. The areas addressed may include foundations, functionality, interfaces, implementation, impacts, and evaluation of decision support systems (DSSs).
