empirical evidences are mixed. This study utilizes China's dual trade regime and China's WTO entry in 2001 to construct a unique … micro dataset on manufacturing firms for China for the period 2000-2007, and performs a difference-in-difference estimation …. Results show that China's WTO entry contributed to a lower SO2 emission intensity for normal exporting firms. We further …

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 … itself. We analyse heterogeneity by geography and income levels. By and large, the influence of population on pollution is …
