Particulate matter and labor supply: the role of caregiving and non-linearities (2016, background): “In contrast, Chang et al. (2014) ﬁnd no eﬀect of PM 2 .”
Digital Economy and Environmental Quality: Evidence from 217 Cities in China (2021, background): “Highlighted by the World Health Organization, haze pollution significantly reduces the per capita GDP, damages the quality of economic development, and directly causes a greater threat to physical health, traffic safety, and climate change [9,10].”
Estimating the effect of air pollution on road safety using atmospheric temperature inversions (2016, background): “5, even in-door workers inside a pear-packing factory (Chang et al., 2014) and call-center (Chang et al.”
Happiness in the Air: How Does a Dirty Sky Affect Mental Health and Subjective Well-being? (2017, background): “…presented in Columns (1) through (2) of Table 6 confirm that air pollution imposes larger impact on hedonic happiness of people working outdoors, though recent evidence suggests that outdoor air pollution even reduce indoor worker productivity (Chang et al. 2014, 2016; He, Liu, and Salvo 2016).”
Management and Shocks to Worker Productivity (2019, unknown): “Short-term exposure to high pollution levels generates temporary reductions in physical and cognitive functioning (Brunekreef and Holgate, 2002), which in turn affect worker productivity (Chang et al., 2014).”
The Light and the Heat: Productivity Co-Benefits of Energy-Saving Technology (2019, background): “4Several recent studies document this relationship in more developed settings (Chang et al., 2014; Costinot et al., 2016; Graff Zivin and Neidell, 2012; Hanna and Oliva, 2015).”
Something in the Air: Pollution and the Demand for Health Insurance (2018, background): “Conlin et al. convincingly show that catalog orders (22)For this reason nearly all of existing evidence for projection bias comes from either surveys or experiments. See for example Nisbett and Kanouse (1969), Lowenstein and Frederick (1997), Read and van Leeuwen (1998), Badger et al.”
Productivity Effects of Air Pollution: Evidence from Professional Soccer (2017, background): “Moreover, recent studies, provide evidence that pollution may also reduce workers’ short-run productivity and thus hinder economic growth (Graff Zivin and Neidell, 2012; Chang et al., 2014; Li et al., 2015).”
Air Quality and Manufacturing Firm Productivity: Comprehensive Evidence from China (2017, unknown): “For indoor pear packers in California, Chang et al. (2016a) estimate a per-hour productivity elasticity of -0.062 for PM2.”
Population health effects and health-related costs of extreme temperatures: Comprehensive evidence from Germany (2018, background): “Chang et al. (2016) estimate the U.S.-wide labor cost savings as a result of reductions in PM2.5 levels to be about $2 billion per year. Finally, Zivin and Neidell (2014) report that a hot day with maximum temperatures above 85 ◦F (29.”
