Does air pollution increase electric vehicle adoption? Evidence from U.S. metropolitan areas, 2011–2018

Distributional Effects of Air Pollution from Electric Vehicle Adoption∗

We examine the distributional effects of changes in local air pollution from driving electric vehicles in the United States. We employ an econometric model to estimate power plant emissions and an integrated assessment model to value damages in air pollution from both electric and gasoline vehicles. Using the locations of currently registered electric vehicles, we find that people living in cen...

Does environmental policy affect scaling laws between population and pollution? Evidence from American metropolitan areas

Modern cities are engines of production, innovation, and growth. However, urbanization also increases both local and global pollution from household consumption and firms' production. Do emissions change proportionately to city size or does pollution tend to outpace or lag urbanization? Do emissions scale differently with population versus economic growth or are emissions, population, and econo...

Air pollution attributable postneonatal infant mortality in U.S. metropolitan areas: a risk assessment study

BACKGROUND The impact of outdoor air pollution on infant mortality has not been quantified. METHODS Based on exposure-response functions from a U.S. cohort study, we assessed the attributable risk of postneonatal infant mortality in 23 U.S. metropolitan areas related to particulate matter <10 microm in diameter (PM10) as a surrogate of total air pollution. RESULTS The estimated proportion o...
