“…3 This is in line with papers on PM and crime that suggest that anxiety increases with PM (Herrnstadt et al 2016;Burkhardt et al 2019). There is also evidence that daily higher PM levels increase the probability of buying health insurance (Chang et al 2018), and reduce the sales of lottery tickets (Bondy et al 2019). 4 These studies estimate PM effects that are likely the result of several behavioural factors (notably skills, discounting, and risk-taking).…”

We review recent empirical economic studies on urban ambient air pollution from a mayor's perspective. We discuss the sources of urban air pollution, the economic costs that it imposes, and the policy tools available to a mayor to alleviate it. For economic costs, we briefly summarize traditional estimates of health and mortality costs and focus on more recent evidence on mental and psychological health, labor productivity and supply, avoidance behavior, willingness to pay for clean air and long-term (multi-decade) impacts. The policy tools we evaluate include pollution information disclosure, auto license and driving restrictions, congestion tolls, public transit investments, emission standards and controls, and gasoline taxes. We also discuss challenges posed by transboundary pollution across cities and the extent to which mayors' incentives encourage tackling air pollution under different political systems. We briefly discuss possible future research agendas.

“…Çalışmada kullanılan üç yöntemden her birinin kendi içinde avantajlarından bahsetmek mümkün olmakla birlikte sabit etki modelinin özellikle coğrafik düzeyde veri setlerinde başarılı sonuçlar verdiği görülmektedir (Noland & Oh, 2004;Barreca & Shimshack , 2012;Bondy, Roth, & Sager, 2020). Sabit etki modelinin kullanılmasında temel amaçlardan biri, sabit etki modelinde zamanla değişmeyen bazı değişkenleri kontrol altında tutmanın mümkün olmasıdır (Deb, Norton ve Manning, 2017).…”

A number of studies have shown that unemployment rate and income inequality are two important indicators of crime. This study first investigates the effect of unemployment rate on crime for 81 provinces in Turkey. Secondly, this study aims to evaluate possible differences within female and male groups. By using regional level data from 2015 to 2019, ordinary least squares method, fixed effects models, and two stage least squared models are employed to estimate the relationship between unemployment rate, income inequality, and crime rates. To tackle down the endogeneity issue observed between crime rates and unemployment rate, an instrumental variable approach is employed. The findings suggest that unemployment rate was powerfully related to the incidence of crime by male and female.
