Industrial and environmental specialization

Abstract: The presence of threshold effects or convex damage functions implies that the composition of pollutants may be as important in the determination of health outcomes as the level of pollution. As such, greater specialization in particular environmental hazards may suggest increasing costs from pollution even if overall pollution levels are declining. Using panel data from the US, it is verified that 'environmental specialization' is important, and likely to increase in the future due to greater industrial specialization.
