Quasi-Experimental Methods in Environmental Economics: Opportunities and Challenges

Deschenes, Olivier; Meng, Kyle C. - 2018

This paper examines the application of quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics. We begin with two observations: i) standard quasi-experimental methods, first applied in other microeconomic fields, typically assume unit-level treatments that do not spill over across units; (ii)...

Does Access to Health Care Mitigate Environmental Damages?

Mullins, Jamie; White, Corey - 2019

Differential access to health care is commonly cited as a source of heterogeneity in the health effects of environmental exposure, yet little causal evidence exists to support such claims. We test this hypothesis by utilizing exogenous variation in both access to health care and environmental...

Can Social Protection Reduce Environmental Damages?

Garg, Teevrat; McCord, Gordon C.; Montfort, Aleister - 2020

Why do damages from changes in environmental quality differ across and within countries? Causal investigation of this question has been challenging because differences may stem from heterogeneity in cumulative exposure or differences in socioeconomic factors such as income. We revisit the...

Air Pollution and the Labor Market: Evidence from Wildfire Smoke

Borgschulte, Mark; Molitor, David; Zou, Eric Yongchen - 2022

We study how air pollution impacts the U.S. labor market by analyzing effects of drifting wildfire smoke that can affect populations far from the fires themselves. We link satellite smoke plume with labor market outcomes to estimate that an additional day of smoke exposure reduces quarterly...

Unsafe Temperatures, Unsafe Jobs: The Impact of Weather Conditions on Work-Related Injuries

Filomena, Mattia; Picchio, Matteo - 2023

We estimate the impact of temperatures on work-related accident rates in Italy by using daily data on weather conditions matched to administrative daily data on work-related accidents. The identification strategy of the causal effect relies on the plausible exogeneity of short-term daily...

Differential Exposure to Climate Change? Evidence from the 2021 Floods in Germany

Odersky, Moritz; Löffler, Max - 2023

natural disasters intensified by anthropogenic climate change. To this end, we link official geo-coded satellite data on flood …-affected buildings to neighborhood-level information on socio-economic status. We then document the empirical relationship between flood … percent lower in flood-affected neighborhoods than in non-affected neighborhoods nearby. Our study is the first to document …

Rural households in a changing climate

Báez Ramírez, Javier Eduardo; Kronick, Dorothy; … - 2012

This paper argues that climate change poses two distinct, if related, sets of challenges for poor rural households: challenges related to the increasing frequency and severity of weather shocks and challenges related to long-term shifts in temperature, rainfall patterns, water availability, and...
