Leveraging high-frequency data, we employ a machine learning algorithm in conjunction with program evaluation … area. Our findings reveal that these exercises led to a notable increase in air pollution levels, potentially reaching up …

, environmental regulation, productivity, and consumer preferences have contributed to these reductions in pollution emissions. We … estimate the model's key parameters using administrative data on plant-level production and pollution decisions. We then … pollution changes. Finally, we compare the model-driven decomposition to a statistical decomposition. The model and data suggest …

governments establish the optimal city size when production processes involve environmental pollution. Our analysis delivers two … key insights. First, if an optimal scheme to regulate environmental pollution is implemented, cities chosen by local … governments are never too large. They are too small if pollution is purely global, but at the optimal size, if pollution is purely …

implementation of stage 1 and 2 LEZs, which banned the most pollution-intensive vehicles from city centers, significantly reduced PM …

We use high-frequency and high spatial resolution data to track …Following market liberalisation, the vehicle population in China has increased dramatically over the past few decades … pollution along major highways linking the two cities. Our approach involves the use of an augmented regression discontinuity in …

examines the causal effect of plastic waste imports on air pollution by exploiting China’s experience of importing plastic … recipient countries. As the largest recipient, China has permanently banned the imports of plastic waste since 2018. This paper …. To evaluate the impact of the import ban on air quality, we employ daily data on air pollution between 2015 and 2020. Our …
