Superfund Cleanups and Infant Health
Currie, Janet; Greenstone, Michael; Moretti, Enrico - 2014
We are the first to examine the effect of Superfund cleanups on infant health rather than focusing on proximity to a site. We study singleton births to mothers residing within 5km of a Superfund site between 1989 and 2003 in five large states. Our “difference in differences” approach...

Identifying Agglomeration Spillovers : Evidence from Million Dollar Plants
Greenstone, Michael; Hornbeck, Richard; Moretti, Enrico - 2010
We quantify agglomeration spillovers by estimating the impact of the opening of a large manufacturing plant on the total factor productivity (TFP) of incumbent plants in the same county. We use the location rankings of profit-maximizing firms to compare incumbent plants in the county where the...

Defensive Investments and the Demand for Air Quality: Evidence from the NOx Budget Program and Ozone Reductions
Deschenes, Olivier; Greenstone, Michael; Shapiro, Joseph S. - 2013
Demand for air quality depends on health impacts and defensive investments that improve health, but little research assesses the empirical importance of defenses. We study an important cap-and-trade market, which dramatically reduced NOx emissions, a key ingredient in ozone formation. A rich...

Defensive Investments and the Demand for Air Quality: Evidence from the NOx Budget Program and Ozone Reductions
Deschenes, Olivier; Greenstone, Michael; Shapiro, Joseph S. - National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) - 2012
Willingness to pay for air quality is a function of health and the costly defensive investments that contribute to health, but there is little research assessing the empirical importance of defensive investments. The setting for this paper is a large US emissions cap and trade market - the NOx...

Do Renewable Portfolio Standards Deliver Cost-Effective Carbon Abatement?
Greenstone, Michael; Nath, Ishan - 2020
The most prevalent and perhaps most popular climate policies in the U.S. are Renewable PortfolioStandards (RPS) that mandate that renewables (e.g., wind and solar) produce a specifiedshare of electricity, yet little is known about their efficiency. Using the most comprehensivedata set ever...
