Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Environmental regulations have generated substantial benefits in terms of improvements
\nin air and water quality, and future regulations are expected to
\nbe even more ambitious to confront challenges associated with transitioning
\nto renewable energy sources. Opponents, however, argue that these benefits
\ncome at a high cost, particularly in terms of jobs and wages. This paper investigates
\nthe impact of environmental regulations on labor market outcomes by
\nexploiting the largest environmental policy enacted in Canada, which aimed
\nto reduce air pollution. We exploit features of the policy that generated exogenous
\nvariation in policy stringency both over time and across geographical
\nregions, as well as within geographical regions based on industry occupations,
\nwithin the framework of a difference-in-difference-in-differences framework to
\nestimate causal effects. In particular, we estimate the effect of an increase
\nin the stringency of regulations on employment, hours worked, and wages.
\nFinally, by coupling the estimates on labor market outcomes with estimates
\non the effect of the policy on pollution concentrations, we can determine the
\nrelative costs (in terms of unemployment and reduced wages) and benefits (in
\nterms of reduced air pollution).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
