This paper evaluates the effect of ozone pollution on individuals' subjective health satisfaction and well …-being, allowing us to capture both direct and indirect effects of ozone pollution on adults. Specifically, we focus on differences … (SOEP) with data on ozone concentrations from measuring stations in Germany. We precisely assign pollution levels to …

This paper investigates how greenhouse gas (GHG) policy stringency affects anthropogenic CO2 emissions using a new GHG policy stringency indicator and a structural spatial VAR approach. We estimate an average country-specific elasticity of CO2 emissions to GHG policy stringency, and assess the...

In most countries, environmental regulation focuses on local pollution, which causes damages near the emission source … pollutants can either be substitutes or complements in production, implying that local pollution regulation may either intensify … or reduce global warming concerns. We exploit new data on US GHG emissions and variation in local pollution regulation …
