.5 concentrations, with the drop leveling off for further increases in fine-particle pollution. A back-of-the-envelope calculation … hourly PM2.5 truncated at 25 µg/m3. We also find reduced product quality as pollution rises. Our model allows for selection … into work attendance, though we do not find particle pollution to be a meaningful determinant of non-attendance, which is …

Moderate effects of pollution on health may exert an important influence on labor market decisions. We exploit … exogenous variation in pollution due to the closure of a large refinery in Mexico City to understand how pollution impacts labor … supply. The closure led to an 8 percent decline in pollution in the surrounding neighborhoods. We find that a one percent …

We empirically examine how fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution affects labor supply in Japan. The effects of PM2 ….5 pollution could be mixed. While adverse health effects of PM2.5 pollution can lead to reduced labor supply, workers can rather … supply in a country with moderate levels of pollution. We use a monthly panel dataset covering entire Japan in 2013–2017 and …

We use a natural experiment in Indonesia to study the medium- and long-term effects of air pollution on labor supply …. We find that exposure to air pollution reduces hours worked and while the medium-term effects are larger in magnitude …

We use high-frequency data on fine particulate matter air pollution (PM 2.5) at the locality level to study the effects … of high pollution on labor supply decisions and hospitalizations for respiratory disease in the metropolitan area of … days with extremely high pollution levels. On these days, the average worker experiences a reduction of around 7.5% of …
