This article examines pollution and environmental mortality in an economy where fertility is endogenous and output is … pollution-induced mortality but also shifts resources to the clean sector. If the dirty sector is more capital intensive, then … decreasing fertility and the population size. Correspondingly, if the clean sector is more capital intensive, then the emission …

Are 'green' environmental concerns - about climate change, biodiversity, pollution - deterring today's citizens from …

In an attempt to verify the pollution haven hypothesis, this study investigates the impact of environmental regulations … the host country's environmental regulations. Since the pollution haven's effects indicate moving the polluting production … those countries. This supports the prevalence of the effects of pollution havens. However, before we separate the FDI into …

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 …

impact of lead exposure on a critical human function with societal implications - fertility. To provide causal estimates of … the effect of lead on fertility, we use two sets of instruments: i) the interaction of the timing of implementation of … System Plan for the cross sectional data. We find that reductions in airborne lead between 1978 and 1988 increased fertility …

There are growing concerns about the impact of pollution on maternal and infant health. In the UK in 2018, 36% of local …. Using a population database of births in Northern Ireland linked to localised geographic information on pollution in mothers … pollution remains an urgent public health priority, our results imply that improvements in short-run levels of prenatal PM2 …

The unique feature of our identification strategy to determine a causal effect is the application of …

We investigate the impact of fetal exposure to air pollution on health outcomes at birth in Italy in the 2000s … quality monitors. The potential endogeneity deriving from differential pollution exposure is addressed by exploiting as …-good-as-random variation in rainfall shocks as an instrumental variable for air pollution concentrations.
