Abstract: The benefits and problems of sharing economy models have been debated heatedly in the literature. In this paper we investigate the introduction of ride-hailing services on pollution in the largest developing economy in the world, China. We use a difference-in-difference approach to longitudinally examine cities that introduced the Didi Chuxing service. Our results suggest that the announcement of the ride-hailing service led to a decrease in PM2.5 pollution in the month before service launch and in the early months of its introduction. However, this effect is temporary, as the growth in ride-hailing vehicles and a rapid increase in the number of overall trips gives way to an increase in vehicle pollution in this underdeveloped market. We conclude with implications of the research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance and potential impact of developing Visualization Psychology in the context of solving definitions and policy decision making problems for complex constructs such as "trust" are reflected.
Abstract: Defining trust is an important endeavor given its applicability to assessing public mood to much of the innovation in the newly formed autonomous industry, such as artificial intelligence (AI),medical bots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and smart factories [19].Through developing a reliable index or means to measure trust,this may have wide impact from fostering acceptance and adoption of smart systems to informing policy makers about the public atmosphere and willingness to adopt innovate change, and has been identified as an important indicator in a recent UK policy brief [8].In this paper, we reflect on the importance and potential impact of developing Visualization Psychology in the context of solving definitions and policy decision making problems for complex constructs such as "trust".
