Abstract
Progress on air pollution and water pollution in the United States has improved our quality of life and our health. In recent decades, there has been a “greening” of our economy as pollution from power plants, transportation, and industry has sharply declined. Our exposure to pollution depends on where production takes place relative to where we choose to live. This comment explores how economic geography influences our exposure to pollution and determines who gains and who loses from effective regulation.
