DESCRIPTION:Timo Heer will be discussing his paper: Noise Pollution and Violence
Abstract
Exposure to noise pollution carries some health risks that also come with air pollution. However\, noise also affects the brain regions responsible for self-control and patience\, and may therefore have a direct\, contemporaneous effect on behavior. Exploiting short-run variation in aircraft landing approaches\, I identify the effect of noise on violence. A 1-dB rise in noise levels increases the assault rate by 2.6%. The victims are predominantly male adults attacked by strangers. Reducing noise levels by 1 dB would spare 18\,000 assault victims in the US and Europe annually\, suggesting that noise pollution is a major externality of economic activity.
