Trans-boundary air pollution spillovers: Physical transport and economic costs by distance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The economic costs of trans-boundary pollution spillovers versus local effects is necessary to evaluate centralized decentralized environmental policies. Directly estimating these for air difficult because are high-frequency and vary with distance while outcomes usually measured low-frequency endogenous. We develop an approach quantify spillover as a flexible function utilizing commonly-available weather data. To correct the endogeneity pollution, it uses mixed two-stage least squares method that accommodates (daily) data (annual) outcome can improve efficiency. estimate particulate matter smaller than 10 ?g (PM10) on manufacturing labor productivity in China. A one ?g/m3 annual increase PM10 locally reduces average firm's output by CNY 45,809 (0.30%) same city 50 km away decreases 16,248 (0.11%). This effect declines rapidly 2847 (0.02%) 600 then slowly zero at 1000 km. results suggest need supra-provincial policies or Coasian prices quantified under approach.

To understand the influence of trans-boundary air pollution on the air quality of Fukuoka, the mass concentration and chemical composition of fine particulate matter (PM) were observed at urban (Fukuoka) and rural (Fukue Island) sites in the northern Kyushu area in Japan. Chemical composition was measured using an aerosol mass spectrometer. Organic aerosol (OA) data were analyzed by the positiv...
