Abstract

A Poisson specification of the relationship between atmospheric pollution and lost work days is estimated.An important feature of the procedure is control for city-specific effects. A major source of ambiguity in interpreting the results of observational data on pollution versus health status or death rates is that pollution in a city may be correlated with other characteristics ofthat city that affect these outcomes but are not controlled for in the analysis. Or, individual attributes of residents may be correlated with pollution levels but notaccounted for in the analysis. Our results suggest a statistically significantand quantitatively important effect of total suspended particulates on work days lost. A standard deviation increase in total suspended particulates is associated with approximately a ten percent increase in work days lost. As a concomitant of our analysis, we also find a substantial relationship between smoking by others in the individual's household and work days lost by non-smokers.

空气污染和失业
估计了大气污染与损失工作日之间关系的泊松规范。该程序的一个重要特点是控制特定城市的影响。在解释污染与健康状况或死亡率的观测数据结果时,一个主要的歧义来源是,一个城市的污染可能与影响这些结果的该城市的其他特征相关,但在分析中没有加以控制。或者,居民的个人属性可能与污染水平相关,但在分析中没有考虑到。我们的研究结果表明,总悬浮颗粒物对工作日损失的影响在统计上和数量上都很重要。总悬浮颗粒的标准偏差增加与大约10%的工作日损失有关。作为我们分析的附带结果,我们还发现,个人家庭中其他人吸烟与非吸烟者损失的工作日之间存在实质性关系。
