Income Sorting and the Demand for Clean Air: Evidence from Southern California
利用南加州数据,研究空气质量差异如何影响居民按收入分选,发现空气质量导致的收入分选可能加剧收入隔离。

Using data from southern California, we investigate how variation in air quality affects residential sorting by income. We find that sorting caused by air quality differences may exacerbate income segregation. <i></i>
