| Título: | How can we improve air pollution? Try increasing trust first |

| Resumen: | Environmental policies are characterized by salient short-term costs and long-term benefits that are difficult to observe and to attribute to the government’s efforts. These characteristics imply that citizens’ support for environmental policies is highly dependent on their trust in the government’s capability to implement solutions and commitment to investments in those policies. Using novel survey data from Mexico City, we show that trust in the government is positively correlated with citizens’ willingness to support an additional tax approximately equal to a day’s minimum wage to improve air quality and greater preference for government retention of revenues from fees collected from polluting firms. We find similar correlations using the perceived quality of public goods as a measure of government competence. These results provide evidence that mistrust can be an obstacle to better environmental outcomes. |

| Título: | A dragon eating its own tail: public control of air pollution information in China |

| Resumen: | This paper analyses the implications of government control over public information about air pollution. First, we model the incentives for a local government with control over the media to affect popular perception concerning pollution. We argue that biased announcements can influence the inflows of labour force in a municipality beyond economic factors. Then, we examine some evidence on information misreporting in the context of Beijing, China. We show that official air pollution announcements diverge systematically from an alternative source of information, provided by the US Embassy. The results point at a manipulation of popular perception consistent with the motives indicated in our model. Furthermore, using an original household survey, we examine whether the distorted public signal affects agents’ behaviour. We find that households that depend upon government-controlled media are significantly less responsive to pollution peaks. |

| Título: | Spatial distribution of coal-fired power plants in China |

| Resumen: | Coal has fueled China’s rapid growth in recent decades, but it also severely pollutes the air and causes many health issues. The magnitude of the health damage caused by air pollution depends on the location of emission sources. In this paper, we look into the spatial distribution of coal-fired power plants, which are the major emission sources in China, and investigate the determining factors behind the distribution. We find that the driving factors are economic development and expansion of electricity grid coverage; the latter factor plays a key role in provinces that are less developed but have abundant coal resources. This suggests a way to reduce health damages caused by air pollution without harming the economy: attracting coal-fired plants to less populated areas by developing trans-province electricity trade and grid coverage. |

| Título: | New measures to reduce CO2 emissions in the "second mobility package" |

| Resumen: | On 8 November 2017, the European Commission put forward its latest series of proposals to modernise the European Union’s transport sector as part of the ’2nd mobility package’ . This included a legislative proposal to set new CO2 emissions standards for cars and vans in the EU post-2020. The Commission has proposed fleet-wide CO2 emissions targets for new passenger cars and vans for 2025 and 2030, which are 15 per cent and 30 per cent lower than the 2021 targets, respectively. The proposal also includes a dedicated incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles to accelerate their uptake in the EU in a technology-neutral and flexible way. The proposed measure will help to reduce road transport greenhouse gas emissions, which account for over 20 per cent of the EU’s total emissions, and in turn to achieve the EU’s objective to reduce its overall emissions by at least 40 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990. The proposal will stimulate innovation, jobs and growth across Europe. |
