Does clean air increase the demand for the consumer city? Evidence from Beijing
研究中国城市中日常消费活动与室外空气污染的关系，发现清洁空气与外出休闲消费是互补品，改善环境质量可能进一步刺激消费城市需求。
Abstract Cities offer a large menu of possible employment and leisure opportunities. The gains from such consumer city leisure are likely to be lower on more polluted days. We study the association between daily consumption activity and outdoor air pollution in China and find evidence in favor of the hypothesis that clean air and leaving one's home for leisure trips are complements. Given the high levels of air pollution in cities in the developing world, regulation induced improvement in environmental quality is likely to further stimulate demand for the consumer city.
