We find that financial literacy emerges as a key barrier: 61% of parents who could save enough to cover half of college costs still perceive potential savings as fruitless. Overall, targeted financial literacy interventions can expand CSA effectiveness considerably. ideas.repec.org/p/feb/artefa...

Key takeaway: Citizens often judge institutions via ideological shortcuts, not facts. Access to evidence-based gov info boosts trust & leads citizens to follow gov recommendations. Scalable interventions like ours show how govs can rebuild public trust (5/5)

In our second study, access to EPA air quality info during the 2024 election increased trust & support for the agency. But: trust gains relied on info relevance. Simply exposing people to the EPA (e.g., via office locations) didn’t yield similar results. (4/5)

In one study, linking participants to CDC data during COVID increased factual knowledge, trust, & compliance (e.g., swabs). Four months later, trust gains persisted and reflected a conscious shift in beliefs about the agency’s integrity. (3/5)

We ran two experiments, 4 years apart (2020 & 2024), to test if reducing search costs for institution-sourced info improves trust & compliance. Results: Yes! Accessing evidence-based advice boosts trust and willingness to follow Gov recommended pro-social behaviors. (2/5)
