This study uses “big” data to empirically investigate a highly effective, but underexamined way of reducing one’s exposure toward air pollution—short-term travel. We determine subscribers’ locations using mobile phones’ signals and thereby establish linkages between pollution short-term population movements cities in China. Using an instrumental variable based on daily variation wind directions levels from distant upwind locations, we find that one-unit increase the origin city’s quality...
Natural capital will be depleted rapidly and excessively if the long-term, offsite impacts of depletion are ignored. By examining case tropical forest burning, we illustrate such myopia: Pursuit short-term economic gains results in air pollution that causes irreversible health impacts. We integrate longitudinal data on prenatal exposure to 1997 Indonesian fires with child nutritional outcomes find mean during stage is associated a half-SD decrease height-for-age z score at age 17, which...
Abstract While there is abundant evidence demonstrating that residents permanently migrate in search of locations with cleaner air, are considerably fewer studies investigate if travellers also take short-term trips to reduce their exposure air pollution. In this study, we use a complete dataset flights at Beijing International Airport travel patterns indeed correlated quality-differences across cities China. Our identification strategy aided by instrumenting quality using thermal...
Preference heterogeneity can influence behavior in economically significant ways, thereby influencing the effectiveness of environmental policies or interventions. We test this hypothesis context efficient cooking technology India. use stated preference methods to first characterize household tastes for various features a more technology. then relate these typically unobserved preferences households’ adoption decisions during an experiment that allowed them choose between two alternatives...

Abstract This study examines the effectiveness of China's National Poor Counties (NPC) program, a decentralized anti‐poverty initiative, by analyzing five rounds individual‐level panel data from 1988 to 2008. The impact two waves NPC program (1994 and 2001) is evaluated utilizing fixed‐effects regression model. results indicate substantial positive effects, with residents in counties experiencing 47 percent income increase, 3.1 higher employment rates, 5.7 rise household expenditure 2008,...
