The Long-run Effect of Air Pollution on Survival
Deryugina, Tatyana; Reif, Julian - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Many environmental hazards produce health effects that take years to arise, but quasi-experimental studies typically measure outcomes and treatment over short time periods. We develop a new approach to overcome this challenge and use it to gauge the effect of exposure to air pollution on US life...

Co-Benefits and Regulatory Impact Analysis : Theory and Evidence from Federal Air Quality Regulations
Aldy, Joseph E. - 2020
This paper considers the treatment of co-benefits in benefit-cost analysis of federal air quality regulations. Using a comprehensive data set on all major Clean Air Act rules issued by the Environmental Protection Agency over the period 1997-2019, we show that (1) co-benefits make up a...

Geographic and Socioeconomic Heterogeneity in the Benefits of Reducing Air Pollution in the United States
Deryugina, Tatyana - 2020
Policies aimed at reducing the harmful effects of air pollution exposure typically focus on areas with high levels of pollution. However, if a population's vulnerability to air pollution is imperfectly correlated with current pollution levels, then this approach to air quality regulation may not...

Time is of the Essence : Climate Adaptation Induced by Existing Institutions
Bento, Antonio; Miller, Noah S.; Mookerjee, Mehreen; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
In the absence of first-best climate policy, we demonstrate that existing government institutions and policy established for reasons unrelated to climate change may induce climate adaptation. We examine the impact of temperature on ambient ozone concentration in the United States from 1980-2013,...

Economic Geography and the Efficiency of Environmental Regulation
Hollingsworth, Alex; Jaworski, Taylor; Kitchens, Carl T.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We develop a spatial equilibrium model to evaluate the efficiency and distributional impacts of the leading air quality regulation in the United States: the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). We link our economic model to an integrated assessment model for air pollutants which...

Uncharted Waters : Effects of Maritime Emission Regulation
Hansen-Lewis, Jamie; Marcus, Michelle M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Maritime shipping emits as much fine particulate matter as half of global road traffic. We are the first to measure the consequences of US maritime emissions standards on air quality, human health, racial exposure disparities, and behavior. The introduction of US maritime emissions control areas...

Gender Differences in COVID-19 Related Attitudes and Behavior : Evidence from a Panel Survey in Eight OECD Countries
Galasso, Vincenzo - 2020
Using original data from two waves of a survey conducted in March and April 2020 in eight OECD countries (N = 21,649), we show that women are more likely to see COVID-19 as a very serious health problem, to agree with restraining public policy measures adopted in response to it, and to comply...
