differences in labor supply responses. Towards this aim, we estimate labor supply elasticities at both extensive and intensive … supply elasticities across countries. However, this changes the cross-country ranking in inequality aversion compared to … scenarios following the standard approach of using uniform elasticities. Differences in redistributive views are significant …

We compile data spanning the period 1900–2014 and up to 30 countries to study long-run patterns in the tax elasticity … of top incomes. Our results show that top tax elasticities vary tremendously over time; they were medium-to-low before …. Wars, financial crises, and country-specific effects and trends have bearing on top elasticities whereas standard …

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 …

, 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 …

ambient air pollution on population health. For Germany and the years 1999 to 2008, we link the universe of all 170 million … hospital admissions, along with all 8 million deaths, with weather and pollution data reported at the day-county level. Extreme … simultaneous weather and pollution conditions. We find strong evidence for "harvesting", and that the instantaneous heat …

We study the impact of short-term exposure to ambient air pollution on the spread and severity of COVID-19 in Germany … patients (80+ years): higher levels of air pollution by one standard deviation 3 to 12 days after developing symptoms increase … deaths by 30 percent (males) and 35 percent (females) of the mean. In addition, air pollution raises the number of confirmed …
