Using a stacked differences-in-differences approach, we study the effects of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) in Germany. The …, emission-intensive diesel vehicles with newer, less polluting gasoline cars. Our estimates suggest that LEZs had lower social …

Driving restrictions are popular interventions in rapidly urbanizing developing countries. Their relatively inexpensive implementation appeals to the pressing need to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Their effectiveness however, remains contested. Using high frequency data from the...

This paper studies health effects from restricting the access of high-emission vehicles to innercities by implementing … Low Emission Zones. For identification, we exploit variation in the timing and the spatial distribution of the … introduction of new Low Emission Zones across cities in Germany. We use detailed hospitalization data combined with geo …

Consumption surveys often record zero purchases of a good because of a short observation window. Only mean consumption rates can then be inferred. We show that propensity scores can be used to estimate each unit's consumption rate, revealing the distribution. We demonstrate the method using the...

Ground-level ozone has been shown to have significant health consequences from short-term exposure, and as such has been regulated in the U.S. since the 1970s by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ozone is not emitted directly; instead formation occurs due to a complex, Leontief-like...
