In this paper, we investigate the effect of respondents' attitudes concerning distributive justice in payments on their stated preferences for programs decreasing ambient air pollution in four cities in Poland. We propose a novel approach to considering justice attitudes in non-market valuation...

This paper uses life satisfaction data to help the design of climate mitigation policies in the United Kingdom. We assess the effects of the exposure to ambient pollutants on long-term life satisfaction and short-term mental health in the UK. We estimate augmented Cobb-Douglas utility functions...

Using a (second stage) hedonic housing model, this paper identifies an inverse demand function for air quality in Bogota, the fourth most polluted city in Latin America (annual average of PM10 52 mg/m3). We use precipitation and distance to monitoring stations as instruments for pollution. We...

In the present, human technology, including noise barrier and Emission Gas Recirculation (EGR) reduce NOx concentration. Nevertheless, the human technology has a tendency to depreciate efficiency over time and add other air pollutant. The benefits of plants in roadside have been shown to reduce...

This paper presents a methodology and empirical estimates from a pilot study for estimating willingness to pay for health improvements associated with reduced exposure to air pollution. The pilot study uses a rated-pair format to elicit stated preferences for various health-state attributes and...

This paper reports a survey study of willingness to pay for air quality improvement at Panipat Thermal Power Station (PTPS) colony, Panipat, India based on referendum contingent valuation (CV) approach. The results show that people in PTPS colony were willing to pay about two percent of their...
