摘要

本研究通过与国家监管机构合作进行实地实验，考察了信息推动是否有效地提高了日本化肥公司（N = 2382）对《肥料法》的遵守程度。我们发现，及时向当局提交报告的比例从70.3%的基线至少增加了5.7个百分点。这一结果表明，通过规避损失的信息，强调不合规的后果，如监禁和罚款，可以有效地鼓励合规。这些影响在一些地区持续了一年多，尽管影响不大。厌恶损失的信息对最小和最大的公司都有最大的影响。

Do informational nudges effectively enhance the legal compliance of fertiliser companies? Lessons from randomised field experiments in Japan

This study examines whether informational nudges effectively enhance adherence to the Fertiliser Act among Japanese fertiliser companies (N = 2,382) by conducting field experiments in collaboration with a national regulatory body. We find that the timely submission of reports to the authority increased by at least 5.7 percentage points, from a baseline of 70.3 per cent. This result suggests that highlighting the consequences of noncompliance—such as imprisonment and fines—through a loss aversion message effectively encourages compliance. These effects sustained for over a year in some regions, though being marginally significant. The loss aversion message has the greatest impact among both the smallest and largest companies.
