Climate treaties and backstop technologies
Barrett, Scott - 2010
In this paper I examine the design of climate treaties when there exist two kinds of technology, a conventional abatement technology with (linearly) increasing marginal costs and a backstop technology ("air capture") with high but constant marginal costs. I focus on situations in which countries...

Incidence of COVID-19 and connections with air pollution exposure : evidence from the Netherlands
Andrée, Bo Pieter Johannes - 2020
The fast spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has resulted in the emergence of several hot-spots around the world. Several of these are located in areas associated with high levels of air pollution. This study investigates the relationship between exposure to particulate...

Pandemic meets pollution : poor air quality increases deaths by COVID-19
Isphording, Ingo Eduard; Pestel, Nico - 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; Schrauth, Philipp - 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,...

Global air quality inequality over 2000-2020
Sager, Lutz - 2024
Air pollution generates vast health burdens and economic costs around the world. Pollution exposure varies greatly, both between countries and within them. But the degree of air quality inequality and its' trajectory have not been quantified at a global level. I use economic inequality indices...
