暨南IESR朱宏佳副教授的合作论文发表于Journal of Public Economics

近日，暨南大学经济与社会研究院副教授朱宏佳、2020届本科毕业生韩亚婕的合作论文“Disguised pollution: Industrial activities in the dark”（合作者：Sumit Agarwal, Yu Qin）被国际权威经济学期刊Journal of Public Economics接受发表。

Abstract

In this study we investigate disguised pollution by industrial firms in China. We find that sulfur dioxide (SO2) readings increase by 10.8% in air pollution monitoring stations four hours after sunset in high factory density areas, controlling for station-year, date, and city-hour fixed effects. Physical inspections by the Ministry of Environmental Protection may only temporarily reduce disguised pollution, suggesting that reliance on physical inspections to enforce regulations is ineffective if firms can shift production activities to non-daylight hours. We show that direct monitoring, as is done with some large polluters in China, can prevent this and should be cost-effective to extend to all industrial polluters.
