报告简介：

Traffic fuels economic activities but traffic-related congestion often poses formidable challenges to urban management worldwide. In a randomized field experiment of 29 weeks with 313 Beijing drivers we measure how congestion charges and health-awareness information reduce driving in peak hours. We find that congestion charge reduces the trips departing between 7-8 am by 11.5%, but these effects disappear soon after the treatment ends. Notably, congestion charges only marginally advance the departure time by 5-10 minutes. The provision of health information instead affects departure times more gradually, with an initial effect in the final treatment week and then lasting for eight weeks. Drivers who receive health information do not advance their departure time to off-peak hours but decide to fully avoid driving in the morning. The persistent influence of health information aligns with a newly proposed habit formation theory that emphasizes the importance of attention accumulation. These findings provide insights for urban management in developing policies that use financial incentives and health awareness.
