Low Emission Zones for Better Health: Evidence from German Hospitals
Wozny, Florian - 2019
This paper studies health effects from restricting the access of high-emission vehicles to innercities by implementing low emission zones. For identification, we exploit variation in the timing and the spatial distribution of the introduction of new low emission zones across cities in Germany....

Pandemic Meets Pollution: Poor Air Quality Increases Deaths by Covid-19
Isphording, Ingo E.; Pestel, Nico - 2020
We study the impact of short-term exposure to ambient air pollution on the spread and severity of Covid-19 in Germany. We combine data on county-by-day level on confirmed cases and deaths with information on local air quality and weather conditions and exploit short-term variation in the...

Optimal siting of onshore wind turbines: Local disamenities matter
Lehmann, Paul; Reutter, Felix; Tafarte, Philip - 2021
The deployment of onshore wind power is an important means to mitigate climate change. However, wind turbines also produce local disamenities to residents living next to them, mainly due to noise emissions and visual effects. Our paper analyzes how the presence of local disamenities affects the...

From low emission zone to academic track: Environmental policy effects on educational achievement in elementary school
Brehm, Johannes; Pestel, Nico; Schaffner, Sandra; … - 2022
Low Emission Zones (LEZs) reduce local air pollution by restricting emission-intensive vehicles from accessing designated areas and have been shown to improve population health. Little is known about the effects of driving restriction policies on other areas of life. This paper studies the...

Effects of regional meteorological and air conditions on community-acquired pneumonia: Examining the interaction of individual, meteorological, and air characteristics
Brenner, Thomas; Link, Ann-Christine; Reudenbach, Christoph - 2022
Climate change will further increase not only the frequency but also the intensity of extreme weather events. As a result, weather conditions favouring pneumonia occurrence - suddenly warmer weather during cold seasons - can increase due to higher meteorological variability which is also linked...
