Topics
• Intake Fraction method to estimate health damages from
air pollution
• Contrast with World Bank (1997) Clear Water Blue Skies
method of Lvovsky et. al. (1997,2000)
• Estimate of damages by industry; by health effects; etc.
• Use of ‘green tax’ policies to reduce damages and promote
tax reform and economic efficiency
Methodology
Goal: Efficient national policies to reduce local health
damages, also calculate coincident CO2 reductions
Step 1: Estimate marginal damages by industry (in terms of
yuan of damages per yuan of output).
Step 2: Estimate marginal damages by type of fuel
Step 3: Construct an economic model that traces output and
inter-industry transactions, including fuel use; traces
consumption and investment. Use model to simulate
‘green tax’ policy effects.

THE PROBLEM
• Have one number for pollutant concentration which is
believed to be the determinant of health effects and other
environmental damage
• Have emissions for each industry
• Need to assign each industry’s contribution to the ambient
concentration of PM and SO2
• Not feasible to model each emission source
• Lvovsky et. al. (1997,2000) method
• Intake Fraction (iF) method
Lvovsky et. al. (1997,2000) innovation:
C x = γ x ,low EM x ,low + γ x ,med EM x ,med + γ x ,high EM x ,high
3 γ’s derived from air dispersion models
Each industry assigned to low, medium or high stack height
Strength: simple to implement, comprehensive
Weakness: x=TSP, EM(TSP) is only primary TSP,
ignoring secondary TSP;
not all Cx due to human activity;
not all Cx due to local emissions;
Intake fractions for Electricity, Iron&Steel, Cement,
Chemicals, Transportation
(Wang Shuxiao, Liu Bingjiang, Zhou Ying et.al. )
- fraction of emissions from a source that is eventually ingested
- samples of plants from 5 cities
- used short range air dispersion model (ISCLT) to calculate
concentration due to primary PM and SO2
- used Calpuff model to long range effects, secondary SO4,NO3
- used detailed population location data to estimate exposures
- scaled up to national intake fractions using national samples

iFix = ∑ ( POPj × Concijx × BR) / EM ix

National policies to reduce local and global pollution
Efficient general policy is tax on emissions but not feasible
- analyze 2 policies:
i) tax on output proportional to health damage caused
ii) tax on fuels proportional to health damage caused
- model calculates both costs and benefits of pollution
control :
- estimate reduction in health damages
- estimate change in output of each sector, change
in Consumption, change in GDP growth
(some cost, e.g. pollution control equipment, not
explicitly considered)
Methodology for cost-benefit analysis
- estimate a base case growth path of the economy
where pollution taxes = 0
- estimate alternative case where tax(j) = MD(j);
new revenues used to cut other pre-existing taxes
- compare the time paths of both cases

Conclusions
- Magnitude of control costs of well designed policies is
much smaller than the local benefits, even ignoring
global benefits.
- Local pollution reduction would very likely involve carbon
emission reduction.
-Green tax policies help tax reform goals
- The short run adjustment costs may be higher than estimated
here leading to less control efforts by China if unaided by
outside world. Hence, rich countries may play a very
important role in tipping the balance towards greater efforts
and sooner.

Economic activity, pollution and health: A general
equilibrium framework
1) Emissions = f( output, fuel use, control technology)
2) Concentration = f(Emissions, meteorology, geography)
3) Health effects = f(Concentration, population; DR)
4) Value of Damage = f( Health effects, valuation(income))
5) Costs of control = f( level of reduction, control tech, ...)
6) f(output, prices, income, consumption, investment) = 0
7) Costs of control versus Value of Damage reduction
