Air Pollution and Innovation [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2021 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 ...
