We examine day-to-day fluctuations in worker-level output at two manufacturing sites in China. Ambient fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution is severe but significantly variable, largely due to exogenous atmospheric ventilation. We obtain an insignificant immediate output response from concurrent (same-shift...
In this paper, we demonstrate that, in a two-period overlapping-generations model, the relationship between environmental taxation and economic activity (output level and growth) has an inverted-U shape when we take into account the detrimental impact of pollution on health and the individual decisi...
MOTHY output from a simulated 10-day leak from the Grande America wreck (dark green star near 46° N–6° W). Black disks are aerial observations. Particle drift: in green without ocean current data, in red using ocean current data from the operational Iberian Biscay Irish (IBI) Ocean Ana...
12,13. While much of the literature addresses environmental sustainability from a national perspective (i.e., total emissions across a country), there is a need for a deeper understanding of how different decarbonization pathways will affect pollution...
Hagen (1958) claimed that if a country's import-competing industry paid a higher wage than its exporting industry, free trade generated lower welfare than autarky. In this case, a prohibitive tariff was the appropriate policy. Hagen's work, which broke new ground by analyzing the welfare impac...

In early 2018, the Yichang government unveiled a plan to promote green transformation in its chemical sector. Following that, the city built up two eco-friendly chemical industrial parks each with an annual output value of more than 100 billion yuan, said Song Xianglin, deputy head of Yichang...
Air pollution has large impacts on the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), affecting not just the health of people and ecosystems, but also climate, the cryosphere, monsoon patterns, water availability, agriculture, and incomes (established but incomplete). Altho
While the highest levels of measured pollutants were over the country's major cities and areas of fossil fuel extraction, TROPOMI could clearly distinguish the pollution caused by power plants in more rural areas. Although the US has made great strides in reducing emissions from coal-fired power ...
MP pollutants in the environment were first attempted in the early 1970 s and later described by marine biologists since 2004 (Thompson et al. 2004). The research output and efforts increased enormously as compared with lines of research. MPs (< 5 mm in size) may be the polymeric plastic...
