TAILIEUCHUNG - Economics of Air Pollution and Health in Developing Countries: A Brief Literature Survey

For instance, in developing countries in particular, we would expect those in urban areas to utilize cars, motor cycles and buses to a greater extent than those in rural areas. Similarly, agricultural products are transported to the cities, often from places far away—see Parikh and Shukla (1995) who provide an early analysis of the effect of urbanization on energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries. We agree with O’Neill and Chen (2002, p. 60) who suggest that the effect of urbanization on emissions represents a promising but underdeveloped avenue of research. Lastly, household size can be expected to have an impact on emissions as households with greater size. | . Economics of Air Pollution and Health in Developing Countries A Brief Literature Survey 5.

Summaries Outdoor Air Pollution i Cost-of-Illness and Willingness-to-Pay Estimates of the Benefits of Improved Air Quality Evidence from Taiwan - Alberini and Krupnik 2000 . Abstract They compare cost-of-illness COI and willingness-to-pay WTP estimates of the damages from minor respiratory symptoms associated with air pollution using data from a study in Taiwan in 1991-92. A contingent valuation survey is conducted to estimate WTP to avoid minor respiratory illnesses. Health diaries are analyzed to predict the likelihood and cost of seeking relief from symptoms and of missing work. As predicted by estimates exceeding the latter by to times depending on pollution levels. These ratios are similar to those for the United States despite the differences between the two countries. ii Health and Environmental Benefits from Air Pollution Reductions in Hungary - Aunan Patzay Aaheim and Seip 1998 . Abstract The aim of this study is to assess the cost and benefit of the implementation of a specific energy saving program in Hungary. They consider the possible reduced damage to public health building materials and agricultural crops that may be obtained from reducing emissions of important air pollutants and also how the program contributes to reduced emissions of greenhouse gases. The measures are described in the National Energy Efficiency Improvement and Energy Conservation Programs NEEIECP elaborated by the Hungarian Ministry of Industry and Trade and accepted by the Government in 1994. The energy saving expected from the program is approximately 64 PJ year. The benefits were estimated using monitoring data and population recipient data from urban and .
