Abstract
This paper estimates the mortality impacts of ozone pollution in China and the moderating effects of two possible adaptation strategies. Using an instrument variable constructed from ozone concentrations of nearby upwind cities, we find that ozone pollution significantly increases all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality. Healthcare service provision significantly decreases the impacts of ozone pollution on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, but does not moderate the impact on respiratory mortality. The impact of ozone on RES mortality declines after COVID-19. Healthcare service provision also reduces the distributional impact of ozone across the elderly and younger groups. Projection shows that climate change would induce mortality costs of 0.08% of China's GDP through increasing ozone pollution.
本文估算了中国臭氧污染对死亡率的影响以及两种可能的适应策略的调节作用。通过使用由附近上风城市臭氧浓度构建的工具变量，我们发现臭氧污染会显著增加全因死亡率、心血管死亡率和呼吸系统死亡率。医疗保健服务的提供会明显降低臭氧污染对全因死亡率和心血管死亡率的影响，但不会减缓对呼吸系统死亡率的影响。COVID-19 之后，臭氧对 RES 死亡率的影响有所下降。医疗保健服务的提供也降低了臭氧对老年人群和年轻人群的分布影响。预测显示，气候变化将通过增加臭氧污染导致死亡率成本占中国 GDP 的 0.08%。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
