Institutions and Economic Growth in Historical Perspective: Part 2
Ogilvie, Sheilagh; Carus, A. W. - 2014
This is Part 2 of a two-part paper which surveys the historical evidence on the role of institutions in economic growth. The paper provides a critical scrutiny of a number of stylized facts widely accepted in the growth literature. It shows that private-order institutions have not historically...

Resource Dependence, Recycling, and Trade
Egger, Peter H.; Keuschnigg, Christian - 2023
Recycling waste from used goods can substitute for scarce raw materials and reduce resource dependence. This paper … presents a model of waste collection, recycling and final goods production using raw and recycled materials. Non-recycled waste … must be safely stored by landfill to avoid environmental damage. The costs of waste disposal create externalities. An …

Air Pollution and Internal Migration : Evidence from Iranian Household Survey
Gholipour, Hassan F. - 2020
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of air pollution (measured by satellite data of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)) on net outmigration. Using data from the 2011 and 2016 National Population and Housing Censuses for 31 provinces of Iran and applying a panel fixed effects estimation...

Pandemic Meets Pollution : Poor Air Quality Increases Deaths by COVID-19
Isphording, Ingo E. - 2020
We study the impact of short-term exposure to ambient air pollution on the spread and severity of COVID-19 in Germany. We combine data on county-by-day level on confirmed cases and deaths with information on local air quality and weather conditions and exploit short-term variation in the...

Population Density and Urban Air Quality
Borck, Rainald - 2019
We use panel data from Germany to analyze the effect of population density on urban air pollution (nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and ozone). To address unobserved heterogeneity and omitted variables, we present long difference/fixed effects estimates and instrumental variables estimates,...

COVID-19 Mortality and Contemporaneous Air Pollution
Austin, Wes; Carattini, Stefano; Mahecha, John Gomez; … - 2021
We examine the relationship between contemporaneous fine particulate matter exposure and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality using an instrumental variable approach based on wind direction. Harnessing daily changes in county-level wind direction, we show that arguably exogenous fluctuations in...

Urban Pollution : A Global Perspective
Borck, Rainald; Schrauth, Philipp - 2023
We use worldwide satellite data to analyse how population size and density affect urban pollution. We find that density significantly increases pollution exposure. Looking only at urban areas, we find that population size affects exposure more than density. Moreover, the effect is driven mostly...

Atmospheric Pollution in Chinese Cities : Trends and Persistence
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Carmona-González, Nieves; … - 2022
This paper applies fractional integration methods to investigate the behaviour of various pollutants (PM10, PM25, SO2 and NO2) in seven Chinese cities (Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Tianjin, Shenzhen, Nanjing and Xian) using daily data over the period January 1, 2014 – November 18, 2022. The...
