Smog Reduction’s Impact on California County Growth
研究发现洛杉矶地区环境规制大幅降低污染，污染减少最多的郊区人口增长最快，推测是生活质量提升吸引了人口迁入，并探讨了其他可能原因。
Over the last twenty years, environmental regulation has sharply reduced pollution levels in the Los Angeles region. Population growth has soared in the Los Angeles suburbs that have experienced the largest pollution reductions. This paper posits that regulation has increased local quality of life which has encouraged in‐migration. I explore alternative explanations for this growth.
