Who Counts in Evaluating the Effects of Air Pollution Policies on Households? Non-Market Valuation in the Presence of Dependencies

Evans, Mary F. - 2009

relationships among household members poses challenges for benefit estimation since it is unlikely that the conditions necessary for … recovering the underlying individual preferences from household choices are satisfied in this setting. We propose a conceptual … relationships for household members of different ages to test the implications of our conceptual model. Respondents' choices take …

International Innovation and Diffusion of Air Pollution Control Technologies : The Effects of NOX and SO2 Regulation in the US, Japan, and Germany

Popp, David - 2004

Using patent data from the United States, Japan, and Germany, this paper examines both the innovation and diffusion of air pollution control equipment. Whereas the United States was an early adopter of stringent sulfur dioxide (SO2) standards, both Japan and Germany introduced stringent nitrogen...

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...

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...

Air Pollution and Infant Health : What Can We Learn From California's Recent Experience

Currie, Janet - 2004

We examine the impact of air pollution on infant death in California over the 1990s. Our work offers several innovations: First, many previous studies examine populations subject to far greater levels of pollution. In contrast, the experience of California in the 1990s is clearly relevant to...

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,...

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...

The Impact of the Clean Air Act on Particulate Matter in the 1970s

Cropper, Maureen L.; Muller, Nicholas Z.; Park, Yongjoon; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We examine whether counties designated as out of attainment with the NAAQS under the 1970 CAA experienced larger reductions in TSP during the 1970s than attainment counties. We answer this question using the official designation of nonattainment status which, between 1972 and 1978, was by Air...

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...
