Dataset Description:
This dataset supports the Econometrica article by Bridget Hoffmann and Juan Pablo Rud (2024), which investigates the effects of PM2.5 air pollution on daily labor supply in Mexico City. Using high-frequency locality-level pollution data and worker-level labor outcomes, the authors estimate nonlinear labor responses to pollution spikes. The dataset includes measurements of pollution, hourly labor supply indicators, and demographic differentiators (e.g., income level, job flexibility). It is used to analyze behavioral adjustments and inequalities in labor market impacts due to environmental stressors.
