Pandemic meets pollution: poor air quality increases deaths by COVID-19
Isphording, Ingo Eduard; 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...

Dirty density : air quality and the density of American cities
Carozzi, Felipe; Roth, Sefi - 2020
In this paper we study the effect of urban density on the exposure of city dwellers to air pollution using data from the United States urban system. Exploiting geological features to instrument for density, we find an economically and statistically significant pollution-density elasticity of...

Quantifying COVID-19's silver lining : avoided deaths from air quality improvements in Bogotá
Blackman, Allen; Bonilla, Jorge A.; Villalobos, Laura - 2021
In cities around the world, Covid-19 lockdowns have improved outdoor air quality, in some cases dramatically. Even if only temporary, these improvements could have longer-lasting effects on policy by making chronic air pollution more salient and boosting political pressure for change. To that...

COVID-19 mortality and contemporaneous air pollution
Austin, Wes; Carattini, Stefano; Gomez Mahecha, John; … - 2020
We examine the relationship between contemporaneous fine particulate matter exposure and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality using an instrumental variable approach based on wind direction. Harnessing daily changes in county-level wind direction, we show that arguably exogenous fluctuations in...

Did the COVID-19 lockdown affect air quality? : evidence from Viet Nam
Nghia Thi Thu Nguyen; Tran Thi Ngan; Wong, Chun Yee - 2024
Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries implemented a partial or full lockdown as a preventive measure. Although lockdown caused an economic contraction, it unexpectedly improved the environment, especially air pollution. This paper quantifies the impact of the lockdown on...
