Severe Air Pollution and School Absences: Longitudinal Data on Expatriates in North China
Published By: Institute for the Study of Labour(IZA) | Published Date: November, 01 , 2017The paper uses a six-year panel of 6,500 students at three international schools in a major city in north China to estimate how fluctuation in ambient PM2.5 over the preceding fortnight impacts daily absences. The preferred estimates are based on the exclusion restriction that absences respond to atmospheric ventilation such as thermal inversions only through ventilation’s effect on particle levels.
