Environmental Regulations, Air and Water Pollution, and Infant Mortality in India
Published By: BREAD on eSS | Published Date: July, 11 , 2011Using the most comprehensive data file ever compiled on air pollution, water pollution,
environmental regulations, and infant mortality from a developing country, the paper examines
the effectiveness of India’s environmental regulations. The air pollution regulations were
effective at reducing ambient concentrations of particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen
dioxide. The most successful air pollution regulation is associated with a modest and statistically
insignificant decline in infant mortality. [BREAD Working Paper No. 307]. URL: [http://ipl.econ.duke.edu/bread/papers/working/307.pdf].
