COVID-19 mortality and contemporaneous air pollution

Austin, Wes; Carattini, Stefano; Gomez Mahecha, John; … - 2020

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...

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...

City size, pollution and emission policies

Pflüger, Michael - 2020

This paper develops a model with an endogenous number of cities to explore whether local governments establish the optimal city size when key activities in the city are associated with emissions that harm consumers. In contrast to extant research, our model is fully micro-founded with respect to...

The effects of cash for clunkers on local air quality

Helm, Ines; Koch, Nikolas; Rohlf, Alexander - 2023

We study the effects of a large car scrappage scheme in Germany on new car purchases and local air quality by combining vehicle registration data with data on local air pollutant emissions. For identification we exploit cross-sectional variation across districts in the number of cars eligible...

Wildfire smoke and private provision of public air-quality monitoring

Coury, Michael; Falconer, Liam; La Nauze, Andrea - 2024

Governments monitor air quality for regulatory purposes and, more recently, to provide information so individuals can act to lower their exposure to air pollution. Recent developments in low-cost technologies have also led to private adoption of air-quality monitors that produce publicly...

Relative prices and climate policy : how the scarcity of non-market goods drives policy evaluation

Drupp, Moritz A.; Hänsel, Martin C. - 2020

Climate change not only impacts production and market consumption, but also the relative scarcity of non-market goods, such as environmental amenities. We study fundamental drivers of the resulting relative price changes, their potential magnitude, and their implications for climate policy in...

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...
