摘要

我们调查了美国超级基金计划和清洁空气法案下的环境法规如何影响2000年代65岁以上美国人接触细颗粒物空气污染和危险废物的情况。我们的研究设计使用了这两个项目如何执行法规的准随机特征,并提供信息来估计它们对移民和污染暴露的因果影响。我们表明,美国老年人的平均污染暴露量大幅下降。我们还发现,环境质量的空间异质性改善对住宅分类的影响很小甚至没有影响。这使得生活在最脏地区的老年人接触污染的几率相对大幅降低。

Environmental regulation, residential sorting, and pollution exposure among senior Americans
We investigate how environmental regulation under the U.S. Superfund program and Clean Air Act affected exposures to fine particulate air pollution and hazardous waste for Americans over age 65 during the 2000s. Our research design uses quasi-random features of how the two programs enforce regulations and provide information to estimate their causal effects on migration and pollution exposure. We show that senior Americans’ average pollution exposures declined substantially. We also show that spatially heterogeneous improvements in environmental quality had little-to-no effect on residential sorting. This led to relatively large reductions in pollution exposure for seniors living in the dirtiest areas.

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.
