This paper aims to correct standard measures of agglomeration economies to account for air pollution generated by commuting. This paper examines the impact of nitrogen oxide (NOX) a pollutant mainly released by transportation on worker productivity. On one side, literature on agglomeration...

Transportation demands large amounts of fuel. In particular, road transport greatly contributes to both criteria air pollutants and noise within cities. The influence of vehicular traffic on the environmental noise spectrum (as an indirect indicator of energy emission) was measured and assessed...

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....
