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...

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...

Meeting Urban Housing Needs : Do People Really Come to the Nuisance?
Depro, Brooks M. - 2012
Understanding the forces that lead to correlations between pollution exposure, poverty, and race is crucial to the formation of sound environmental justice (EJ) policy. In particular, what are the roles of disproportionate siting of pollution sources versus post-siting housing market dynamics...
