Regression models that include various fixed effects are used for the analysis, with the results showing that real-time alerts reduce the number of baseball game spectators by 7%, and that the size of the effect is not statistically different from that of air pollution forecasts. Therefore, this study analyzes whether realtime information about air pollution triggers avoidance behavior, based on data about air pollution levels and baseball game attendance in South Korea from 2012 to 2016. Given that the typical avoidance behavior in response to air pollution is to reduce one's outdoor activities, the reaction to real-time PM10 information is measured using the change in attendance at professional baseball games.	./cache/cord-035127-we3lmrps.txt	./txt/cord-035127-we3lmrps.txt
