Assessing the costs of ozone pollution in India for wheat producers, consumers, and government food welfare policies
We evaluate the impact of ozone pollution on wheat yields in India and its economic consequences for producers, consumers, and the government. Using an ozone flux–based risk assessment, we find that ambient ozone levels led to a 14.18% average reduction in wheat yields from 2008 to 2012. Irrigated wheat was particularly susceptible to ozone-induced losses, highlighting a potential threat to climate-change adaptation through irrigation expansion. Employing an economic model, we analyze the effects of a "pollution-free" scenario on various factors.
Air pollution exposure and COVID-19: A look at mortality in Mexico City using individual-level data
We use individual-level data to estimate the effects of long- and short-term exposure to air pollution (PM2.5) on the probability of dying from COVID-19. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to look at this relationship using individual-level data. We find that for Mexico City there is evidence of a positive relationship between pollution and mortality that significantly grows with age and that appears to be mostly driven by long- rather than short-term exposure.
The Costs of Blue Sky: The Distributional Effects of Environmental Regulation on Labor Demand in China
