Abstract：
In recent years, despite the fact that the Chinese government is closely monitoring food safety, the perception of food production enterprises is not obvious. The reason is that information asymmetry hinders the effective transmission of regulatory information to food production enterprises. In the present research, a choice test is conducted to explore the preference of decision-makers for the information on government regulations in 224 food production enterprises with violations. It is found out that the decision-makers of food production enterprises have a strong preference for the regulatory information released by local governments. With a preference for reference information, compared to those who violate the law just once, decision-makers in food production companies that have several infractions exhibit a high \"reference dependence\" mentality. Also, the preference of different decision-maker characteristics shows an evident heterogeneity, as does the preference of various enterprises for the regulatory information about food safety. It is recommended that the government should improve the mechanism of disclosing the information about food safety, and focus on tailoring the information to different types of enterprises.
摘要：
近年来,尽管中国政府正在密切关注食品安全，食品生产企业的认知并不明显。究其原因,信息不对称阻碍了监管信息向食品生产企业的有效传递。在目前的研究中,进行了选择测试，以探索决策者对224家违规食品生产企业政府法规信息的偏好。研究发现,食品生产企业的决策者对地方政府发布的监管信息具有强烈的偏好。优先考虑参考信息，与那些只违反一次法律的人相比，食品生产公司的决策者在有几个违规行为的情况下表现出高度的“参考依赖”心态。此外，不同决策者特征的偏好表现出明显的异质性，各企业对食品安全监管信息的偏好也是如此。建议政府完善食品安全信息公开机制,并专注于为不同类型的企业量身定制信息。
