This paper explores disparities in the effect of pollution on confirmed cases of Covid-19 based on counties’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Using daily data on all US counties over the year 2020 and applying a rich panel data fixed effect model, we document that: 1) there are discernible social and demographic disparities in the spread of Covid-19. Blacks, low educated and poorer people are at higher risks of being infected by the new disease. 2) The criteria pollutants including Ozone, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 have the potential to accelerate the outbreak of the novel corona virus. 3) The disadvantaged population is more vulnerable to the effects of pollution on the spread of corona virus. Specifically, the effects of pollution on confirmed cases become larger for blacks, low educated, and counties with lower average wages in 2019. The results suggest that welfare programs during a global pandemic should be differentially distributed among families with different socioeconomic status since the effects of these programs in reducing the spread of the pandemic is different among subpopulations. This paper is the first study to evaluate the differential effects of pollution on the spread of novel corona virus across different subpopulations based on their socioeconomic status.

“…The pollution is measured three days in advance since the literature suggests that the virus has an average incubation period of 3 days (Lauer et al, 2020; Li et al, 2020; Tan et al, 2005). Since temperature is discussed to be one of the causes that accelerate the outbreak we also control for daily temperature in all regressions represented by T (NoghaniBehambari, Salari, et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2020; Xie & Zhu, 2020). The parameter ξ is the county fixed effect.…”

Using data on all US counties on a daily basis over the year 2020 and applying a rich panel data fixed effect model, we document that: 1) there are discernible social and demographic disparities in the spread of Covid-19. Blacks, low educated, and poorer people are at higher risks of being infected by the new disease. 2) The criteria pollutants including Ozone, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 have the potential to accelerate the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. 3) The disadvantaged population is more vulnerable to the effects of pollution on the spread of coronavirus. Specifically, the effects of pollution on confirmed cases become larger for blacks, low educated, and counties with lower average wages in 2019.
