Risk communication clarity and insurance demand: The case of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Journal of economic dynamics & control, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We study how the clarity of COVID-19 risk communications affects COVID-19 insurance demand using proprietary prefecture-level insurance data from China. We find that when local disclosures of COVID-19 risk contain case origin information, local purchases of COVID-19 insurance and local Internet searches for COVID-19 information increase, even after controlling for newly confirmed local cases and new deaths. Our results are robust to using the disclosure clarity of a major neighboring city. The findings suggest that providing improved knowledge about risk to individuals lead them to engage in more risk management. Our evidence contributes to the debate over how risk communication affects individuals' risk-related behaviors.
