Dataset Description:
This dataset comes from a large-scale randomized field experiment in China evaluating how different types of citizen appeals (public vs. private) influence pollution violations and regulatory behavior. It was used by Mark T. Buntaine, Michael Greenstone, Guojun He, Mengdi Liu, Shaoda Wang, and Bing Zhang in their 2024 American Economic Reviewpaper. The dataset includes pollution violation records, treatment assignments, emission levels, and prefecture-level policy variables, enabling both direct and spillover effect estimation.
