Estimates of the external costs of air pollution in China range from approximately 1% to 8% of China's GDP (gross domestic product). The results depend a lot on the assumed monetary valuation of mortality impacts. Discrepancies arise also because of uncertainties in impact modeling. Despite the...
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Under the guidance of the "Two Mountains" theory, China has continuously improved the environment, made remarkable achievements in pollution control, and advanced ecological progress. "Only when we properly protect Erhai Lake can we live a better li...
This study aims at designing policies that internalise the impact of air pollution policies into the decision process, taking into account all the exiting physical and economic feedbacks. Methods Modelling framework To assess how the internalisation of air pollution impacts into optimal climate policy ch...
Achieving health-oriented air pollution control requires integrating unequal toxicities of industrial particles Health-oriented emissions reduction in China focusing on the iron and steel industry can reduce costs by 1.56 billion dollars while lowering the population-weighted toxic potency-adjusted exposure ...
China has made some strides in addressing air pollution and curbing carbon emissions, but more needs to be done: The government could continue to invest in renewable energy and implement policies that encourage companies to reduce their environmental impact; ...
In 2018, the report estimates that it was linked to 4.5 million deaths with PM2.5 pollution also responsible for 1.8 billion days of work absence, 4 million new cases of child asthma and 2 million preterm births. It can have an impact on the economy in many forms such as higher rates ...

Covid-19 has created a significant environmental impact in the short term. After an initial struggle to come up with the correct preventive measure, China has limited international arrivals to combat the pandemic (Bogoch et al. 2020). Similarly, North American and European countries are yet to...
Constraining the persistence of impacts A key determinant and source of discrepancy in estimates of the magnitude of future climate damages is the extent to which the impact of a climate variable on economic growth rates persists. The two extreme cases in which these impacts persist indefinitely or...
This paper analyzes spatial influences of national economic growth on trade and the emission of PM2.5 for three Northeast Asia countries—China, Japan, and Korea. An Air pollution-Multinational Computable General Equilibrium model is developed to integrate two environmental modules for PM2.5 emissions ...
