DESCRIPTION: The project will use a new, global, geocoded dataset on methane emissions from gas flaring over five years from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to examine both the effects of uneven regional environmental regulation on gas flaring and the impacts of air pollution from gas flaring on health and cognitive development in children and adolescents
OUTCOMES: We will examine the impacts of environmental regulation on air pollution from gas flaring and also examine the impacts of air pollution from gas flaring on human capital outcomes, including health and cognitive development in children
