Fatal Errors: The Mortality Value of Accurate Weather Forecasts
Social Science Research Network, 2023 We provide the first revealed-preference estimates of the benefits of routine weather forecasts. The benefits come from how people use the information to reduce mortality from heat or cold.

The Effect of Pollution on Worker Productivity: Evidence from Call-Center Workers in China
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2016 We investigate the effect of pollution on worker productivity in the service sector by focusing on two call centers in China. Using precise measures of each worker’s daily output linked to daily measures of pollution and meteorology, we find that higher ...

Severe Air Pollution and Labor Productivity: Evidence from Industrial Towns in China
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2018 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.

North-South Displacement Effects of Environmental Regulation: The Case of Battery Recycling
Social Science Research Network, 2021 This study examines the effect of a tightening of the US air quality standard for lead in 2009 on the relocation of battery recycling to Mexico and on infant health in Mexico. In the United States, airborne lead dropped sharply near affected plants, most

Financing the low-carbon transition in Europe
Social Science Research Network, 2023 Using evidence from the EU emissions trading system, we collect verified emissions of close to 4000 highly polluting and mostly non-listed firms responsible for 26% of EU’s emissions.

The Local Economic and Welfare Consequences of Hydraulic Fracturing
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2017 Exploiting geological variation and timing in the initiation of hydraulic fracturing, we find that fracking leads to sharp increases in oil and gas recovery and improvements in a wide set of economic indicators. There is also evidence of deterioration in
