This paper examines convergence patterns in total greenhouse gas emissions across 114 countries from 1990 to 2019. Prior research has largely focused on one representative greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide emissions, but our goal is to broaden the study. We use the club convergence test to contrast...

This paper investigates the impacts of COVID-19 safer-at-home polices on collisions and pollution. We find that … severe collisions. For pollution, we find particulate matter concentration levels approximately 1.5µg/m3 lower during the … period of a safer-at-home order, representing a 25% reduction. We document a similar reduction in air pollution following the …
