dc.description.abstract | We examine the impact of air pollution on infant death in California over the 1990s. Our workoffers several innovations: First, many previous studies examine populations subject to fargreater levels of pollution. In contrast, the experience of California in the 1990s is clearlyrelevant to current debates over the regulation of pollution. Second, many studies examine afew routinely monitored pollutants in isolation, generally because of data limitations. Weexamine four ?criteria? pollutants in a common framework. Third, we develop an identificationstrategy based on within zip code variation in pollution levels that controls for potentiallyimportant unobserved characteristics of high pollution areas. Fourth, we use rich individualleveldata to investigate effects of pollution on infant mortality, fetal deaths, low birth weightand prematurity in a common framework. We find that the reductions in carbon monoxide(CO) and particulates (PM10) over the 1990s in California saved over 1,000 infant lives.However, we find little consistent evidence of pollution effects on fetal deaths, low birthweight or short gestation. | en |
