Climate policies and skill-biased employment dynamics: Evidence from EU countries (2018, background): “Empirical evidence has not disconfirmed these concerns: in most cases, air quality regulations and energy prices (a proxy for carbon tax) have modest negative employment effects, concentrated on polluting and energy-intensive industries (e.g., Greenstone, 2002; Kahn and Mansur, 2013; Walker, 2013).”
Does Air Quality Matter? Evidence from the Housing Market (2005, background): “While the declines in the 1970s correspond with the implementation of the 1970 CAAAs, the remaining improvements occurred during the 1981–82 recession.”
RegData: A numerical database on industry-specific regulations for all United States industries and federal regulations, 1997-2012: RegData: US federal regulation data (2017, background): “5 Mandel and Carew (2013) eloquently discuss some potential problems associated with regulatory accumulation.”
Environmental regulation and investment: Evidence from European industry data (2011, background): “Two notable exceptions are Garofalo & Malhotra (1995) and Greenstone (2002). Garofalo & Malhotra (1995) rely on the manufacturing sector in 34 U.”
Productivity, Export, and Environmental Performance: Air Pollutants in the United States (2016, methodology): “The classification of “dirty industry” used is pollutant-specific, based on Greenstone (2002), and is described in table 6.”
US Environmental Regulation and FDI: Evidence from a Panel of US-Based Multinational Firms (2010, background): “A series of papers (for example, Kahn, 1997; Greenstone, 2002) show that the regulations retarded the growth of polluting manufacturers in nonattainment counties.”
FDI and environmental regulation: pollution haven or a race to the top? (2012, neutral): “(z s ; z n) = a+ n 2 3 s 2 ; 0 ; if 3 s 2 n 2 < a < 5 s 2 n 2 ; ( s; 0) ; if a 5 s 2 n 2 : (24)”
The Impact of FDI on CO2 Emissions in Latin America (2013, neutral): “Additionally, Grossman and Krueger (1991), Carrada-Bravo (1995), and Cole and Ensign (2005) do not find empirical evidence that Mexico became a pollution haven with NAFTA.”
Forcing technological change: A case of automobile emissions control technology development in the US (2010, background): “Yet, many academics have claimed that command-andcontrol (CAC)-type regulatory policies can be very counterproductive (e.g., Palmer et al., 1995; Greenstone, 2002; Jaffe, 2002).”
