Same environment, stratified impacts? Air pollution, extreme temperatures, and birth weight in south China [PDF]
Social Science Research, February, 102691 (2022), 2022 This paper investigates whether associations between birth weight and prenatal ambient environmental conditions--pollution and extreme temperatures--differ by 1) maternal education; 2) children's innate health; and 3) interactions between these two. We link birth records from Guangzhou, China, during a period of high pollution, to ambient air pollution
