This paper produces the first large-scale estimates of the US health related welfare costs due to climate change. The … full welfare impact will be reflected in health outcomes and increased consumption of goods that preserve individuals …' health. Using the presumably random year-to-year variation in temperature and two state of the art climate models, the …

We examine the effects of total suspended particulates (TSPs) air pollution on infant health using the air quality … instrumental variable for TSPs changes to estimate their impact on infant mortality changes in the first year that the 1970 CAAA … was in force. TSPs nonattainment status is associated with sharp reductions in both TSPs pollution and infant mortality …
