We incorporate pollution exposure into Becker's "Quantity-Quality" (Q-Q) model of fertility and quantify how air … pollution distorts individuals' fertility behaviors in China. We document a robust pattern in which increased pollution over … time negatively affects the fertility of ethnic Han people, who comprise approximately 92% of the Chinese population. These …
