Something from nothing : estimating consumption rates using propensity scores, with application to emissions reduction policies
Bardsley, Nicholas; Büchs, Milena; Schnepf, Sylke V. - 2016
Consumption surveys often record zero purchases of a good because of a short observation window. Only mean consumption rates can then be inferred. We show that propensity scores can be used to estimate each unit's consumption rate, revealing the distribution. We demonstrate the method using the...

City size, pollution and emission policies
Pflüger, Michael - 2018
This paper develops a micro-founded city systems model with an endogenous number of cities to explore whether local governments establish the optimal city size when production processes involve environmental pollution. Our analysis delivers two key insights. First, if an optimal scheme to...

Defensive investments and the demand for air quality : evidence from the NOx budget program and ozone reductions
Dechênes, Olivier; Greenstone, Michael; Shapiro, Joseph S. - 2012
The demand for air quality depends on health impacts and defensive investments that improvehealth, but little research assesses the empirical importance of defenses. We study the NOxBudget Program (NBP), an important cap-and-trade market for nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions,a key ingredient in...

Hold your breath : a new index of air quality
Bühn, Andreas; Farzanegan, Mohammad Reza - 2012
Environmental quality and climate change have long attracted attention in policy debates. Recently, air quality has emerged on the policy agenda. We calculate a new index of air quality using CO2 and SO2 emissions per capita as indicators and provide a ranking for 122 countries from 1985 to...
