Baker Center Energy and Environment Forum on April 11, 3:30 - 5 pm at MIN 
KAO ENGINEERING BLDG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baker Scholars Research Symposium on April 12 
April 17 -- "Taxes, Green Vehicles and the Death of Tennessee Transportation." 

See below for details.  Free and open to the public.  

Join us for the next Baker Center Energy and Environmental Forum, which will 
take place on Thursday, April 11 at 3.30 pm in Min Kao 404 (not Toyota 
Auditorium in Baker Center due to scheduling conflict).

Paulina Oliva, Assistant Professor of Economics at University of California, 
Santa Barbara will give a 45 minute presentation and then lead a discussion 
with participants. Her talk is titled: “Does the Effect of Pollution on Infant 
Mortality Differ Between Developing and Developed Countries?  Evidence from 
Mexico City”

Abstract: Much of what we know about the marginal effect of pollution on 
infant mortality is derived from developed country data. However, given the 
lower levels of air pollution in developed countries, these estimates may not be 
externally valid to the developing country context if there is a nonlinear dose 
relationship between pollution and mortality or if the costs of avoidance 
behavior differs considerably between the two contexts. In this paper, we 
estimate the relationship between pollution and infant mortality using data from 
Mexico. We find that an increase of 1 parts per billion in carbon monoxide (CO) 
over the last week results in 0.0032 deaths per 100,000 births, while a 1 µg/m3 
increase in particulate matter (PM10) results in 0.24 infant deaths per 100,000 
births. Our estimates for PM10 tend to be similar (or even smaller) than the 
U.S. estimates, while our findings on CO tend to be larger than those derived 
from the U.S. context. We provide suggestive evidence that a non-linearity in 
the relationship between CO and health explains this difference.

NOTE: Forum will be held in Min Kao, the recently constructed Electrical 
Engineering and Computer Science Building on the Northeast corner of campus.
