Voluntary Exposure Benefits and the Costs of Climate Change

Leard, Benjamin - 2017

We identify behavioral responses, defined as “voluntary exposure benefits,” that have the potential to offset measured costs of climate change. We quantify these responses for the transportation sector. We find warmer temperatures and reduced snowfall are associated with an increase in fatal...

Improved Transportation Networks Facilitate Adaptation to Pollution and Temperature Extremes

Barwick, Panle Jia; Donaldson, Dave; Li, Shanjun; Lin, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

The social costs of pollution and climate change hinge critically on humans' ability to adapt. Based on transaction records from the world's largest payment network, this research compiles daily travel flows and documents that China's rapid expansion of high-speed railways (HSR) facilitates the...

Impact of High-Speed Rail on Road Traffic and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Lin, Yatang; Qin, Yu; Wu, Jing; Xu, Mandi - 2021

-scale public transport system has the potential to be an effective instrument. High speed rail (HSR) is one such example, yet it is … unclear how much reduction in road traffic results from new rail routes. Using the difference-in-differences (DID) method, we …-point reduction in freight vehicles running on parallel highways. These reductions were not seen on ordinary national roads. These …
