利用印第安纳州蒂珀卡诺县的警方事故报告，并利用增强现实游戏《口袋妖怪GO》的引入作为自然实验，我们记录了在用户可以边开车边玩游戏的地点附近，车祸和相关车辆损坏、受伤和死亡人数的不成比例的增加。我们估计，在游戏推出后的148天内，全国范围内用户边开车边玩Pokemon GO的增量成本将在520万至2550万美元之间。将这些估计外推到全国水平，总损失从20亿美元到73亿美元不等。
Using police accident reports for Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and exploiting the introduction of the augmented reality game Pokemon GO as a natural experiment, we document a disproportionate increase in crashes and associated vehicular damage, injuries, and fatalities in the vicinity of locations where users can play the game while driving. We estimate the incremental county-wide cost of users playing Pokemon GO while driving to be in the range of $5.2 to $25.5 million over the 148 days following the introduction of the game. Extrapolating these estimates to nation-wide levels yields a total ranging from $2.0 to $7.3 billion.
