When labor disputes bring cities to a standstill : the impact of public transit strikes on traffic, accidents, air pollution, and health
Bauernschuster, Stefan; Hener, Timo; Rainer, Helmut - 2015
Many governments have banned strikes in public transportation. Whether this can be justified depends on whether strikes endanger public safety or health. We use time-series and cross-sectional variation in powerful registry data to quantify the effects of public transit strikes on urban...

Public Transit and Air Pollution
Rivers, Nicholas - 2017
Advocates of public transit frequently tout improved air quality as a primary benefit. Yet little is known about the causal impacts of public transit on local air pollution. Exploiting variation in transit availability resulting from work stoppages in 18 Canadian cities between 1974-2011, this...

Urban Transport Pollution : Revisiting the Environmental Kuznets Curve
Liddle, Brant - 2015
An inverted-U relationship between GDP per capita and three urban transport-related emissions is tested (using data … from 84 cities). Per capita urban transport-related emissions of CO, VHC, and NOx increase and then decline at observed … income levels — a result driven by a similar inverted-U relationship between income and emissions technology (i.e., emissions …

Greener fleet, cleaner air : how Low Emission Zones reduce pollution
Aydin, Eren; Gehrsitz, Markus; Traxler, Christian - 2024
Using a stacked differences-in-differences approach, we study the effects of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) in Germany. The implementation of stage 1 and 2 LEZs, which banned the most pollution-intensive vehicles from city centers, significantly reduced PM10 concentrations. The most restrictive third...
