Results show that ozone decreases the well-being of …This paper uses a panel of German individuals and highly granular pollution data to test if air pollution affects … sulfur dioxide. Concerning the mechanism, we find that above-median earners drive this effect and that ozone causes losses in …

This paper evaluates the effect of ozone pollution on individuals' subjective health satisfaction and well …-being, allowing us to capture both direct and indirect effects of ozone pollution on adults. Specifically, we focus on differences … (SOEP) with data on ozone concentrations from measuring stations in Germany. We precisely assign pollution levels to …

We adopt … a regression discontinuity design (RDD) and flexibly test each discontinuity separately. Our finding that ozone levels …

Ground-level ozone is a continuing problem worldwide, but research on the influences of ozone pollution on labour … productivity in developing countries is insufficient. We investigate the effect of ozone pollution on outdoor worker productivity …. Using an instrumental variable constructed from ozone pollution of upwind nearby cities, we find that a one …
