Enviromental regulations and labor markets : balancing the benefits of enviromental regulations for everyone and the costs to workers and firms

Olivier Deschenes (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, and IZA, Germany)

Environmental regulations such as air quality standards can lead to notable improvements in ambient air quality and to related health benefits. But they impose additional production costs on firms and may reduce productivity, earnings, and employment, especially in sectors exposed to trade and intensive in labor. The limited empirical evidence suggests that the benefits are likely to outweigh the costs.
