Does the renovation of waste-to-energy incineration plants attenuate the housing price gradient? Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in Shenzhen, China

Jinbo Song et al.

Summary: Waste-to-energy incineration plants often face protests from residents due to the negative externalities they cause. This study examines the impact of the renovation of a WTE incineration plant in Shenzhen on housing prices using a quasi-natural experiment design and a hedonic price model. The results show that the renovation narrows the price gap between proximate and distant apartments by 35.25% and significantly reduces the housing price gradient. The analysis suggests that the improved environment resulting from the renovation is the underlying mechanism for the decrease in the housing price gradient.

Evaluating the impact of central environmental protection inspection on air pollution: An empirical research in China

Xiaoxiao Liu et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the panel data of air pollution indicators from 288 prefecture-level cities in China between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018. It uses the first round of central environmental protection inspection as a quasi-natural experiment and empirically examines its impact on urban air pollution using a multi-period difference-in-difference method. The results show that the inspections have significantly reduced the concentration of seven pollutants, with the first five batches having a stronger effect than the subsequent "looking back" inspections. Furthermore, the inspections continue to have a significant reduction effect on air pollution in the short term. The impact of the inspections varies across different batches, urban scales, economic development levels, and pre-inspection air quality levels. The research findings provide policy recommendations and decision-making basis for the Chinese central government to further reform the environmental protection supervision mechanism and mitigate multiple pollutants emissions.

Impacts of poverty alleviation on national and global carbon emissions

Benedikt Bruckner et al.

Summary: Carbon inequality reflects global wealth and income inequalities, with wealthy nations having high levels of consumption-based carbon emissions. This study shows that poverty alleviation has limited impact on global emissions, although emissions in poorer countries could more than double. Inequality in wealth and income distribution has direct consequences on consumption patterns, leading to carbon inequality. Although lifting people out of poverty under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1 results in only small relative increases in global emissions, poverty alleviation can significantly increase carbon emissions in low- and lower-middle-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa. To ensure poverty alleviation without exceeding climate targets, high-emitting countries need to reduce their emissions substantially.
