The Effect of Air Pollution on Migration : Evidence from China

Chen, Shuai - 2017

This paper looks at the effects of air pollution on migration in China using changes in the average strength of thermal … that air pollution is responsible for large changes in inflows and outflows of migration in China. More specifically, we … find that independent changes in air pollution of the magnitude that occurred in China in the course of our study (between …

Do Pollution Markets Harm Low Income and Minority Communities? Ranking Emissions Distributions Generated by California's RECLAIM Program

Mansur, Erin T. - 2019

We compare the spatial distribution of emissions from Southern California's pollution-trading program with that of a counterfactual command-and-control policy. We develop a normatively significant metric with which to rank the various distributions in a manner consistent with an explicit...

Decompositions and Policy Consequences of an Extraordinary Decline in Air Pollution from Electricity Generation

Holland, Stephen P. - 2018

We determine the change in air pollution damages from U.S. power plant emissions over 2010 to 2017. Annual damages fell from $245 billion to $133 billion over this period, with most of the decline occurring in the East. Decomposition shows that changes in emissions rates reduced damages by $63...

Expected Health Effects of Reduced Air Pollution from COVID-19 Social Distancing

Cicala, Steve - 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in stay-at-home policies and other social distancing behaviors in the United States in spring of 2020. This paper examines the impact that these actions had on emissions and expected health effects through reduced personal vehicle travel and electricity...

What Do Emissions Markets Deliver and to Whom? Evidence from Southern California's NOx Trading Program

Fowlie, Meredith - 2009

A perceived advantage of cap-and-trade programs over more prescriptive environmental regulation is that enhanced compliance flexibility and cost effectiveness can make more stringent emissions reductions politically feasible. However, increased compliance flexibility can also result in an...

The Distribution of Environmental Damages

Hsiang, Solomon - 2017

Most regulations designed to reduce environmental externalities impose costs on individuals and firms. An active body of research has explored how these costs are disproportionately born by different sectors of the economy and/or across different groups of individuals. However, much less is...

Distributional Effects of Air Pollution from Electric Vehicle Adoption

Holland, Stephen P. - 2016

We examine the distributional effects of changes in local air pollution from driving electric vehicles in the United States. We employ an econometric model to estimate power plant emissions and an integrated assessment model to value damages in air pollution from both electric and gasoline...

Environmental Benefits from Driving Electric Vehicles?

Holland, Stephen P. - 2015

Electric vehicles offer the promise of reduced environmental externalities relative to their gasoline counterparts. We combine a theoretical discrete-choice model of new vehicle purchases, an econometric analysis of the marginal emissions from electricity, and the AP2 air pollution model to...

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Marginal Emissions : Implications for Electric Cars and Other Electricity-Shifting Policies

Zivin, Joshua S. Graff - 2012

In this paper, we develop a methodology for estimating marginal emissions of electricity demand that vary by location and time of day across the United States. The approach takes account of the generation mix within interconnected electricity markets and shifting load profiles throughout the...
