Air Pollution and Innovation [PDF]
Existing estimates of the economic costs of air pollution do not account for its effect on inventive output. Using two weather phenomena as instruments, we estimate this effect in a sample of 1,288 European regions. A decrease in exposure to small particulate matter of 0.17 micro-gram/m3 -- the average yearly reduction in Europe -- leads to 1.7% more ...
