dc.description.abstract | Government authorities use resources on information campaigns in order to inform citizens
about relevant policy changes. The motivation is usually that individuals sometimes are ill-
informed about the public policies relevant for their choices. In a survey experiment where
the treatment group was provided with public information material on the social security
system, we assess the short- and medium-term knowledge effects. We show that the short run
effects of the information on knowledge disappear completely within 4 months. The
fi
ndings
illustrate the limits of public information campaigns to improve knowledge about relevant
policy reforms. | en_US |
