We use a real-stakes survey experiment to measure misperceptions about air pollution/health impacts & test whether updating beliefs changes WTP for clean air
We find large misperceptions, but not strong evidence that rectifying these would close Black-White WTP gaps

The U.S. has seen a manufacturing boom since the Inflation Reduction Act, especially in the emerging Southeastern battery belt. But these projects and associated jobs are potentially at risk with proposed changes to tax credits.

🏘️Protected home values ⬆️3-4%
🌊Risk transfer: nearby home values ⬇️1-5%
⚖️Racial sorting on flood risk post-construction
🏛️Appropriation process likely affects distribution of impacts
