本文描述并实现了一种方法来评估一个随时间变化的本地公共产品：空气质量。它模拟了调查受访者自我报告的幸福感，这些幸福感与他们的人口统计特征，收入以及他们被调查的日期和地点的空气污染和天气有关。收入越高的人幸福感越高，而在当地空气污染越严重的日子里接受采访的人幸福感越低。结合这两个概念，我得出收入和当前空气质量之间的平均边际替代率-空气污染短期变化的补偿差异。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This paper describes and implements a method for valuing a time-varying local public good: air quality. It models survey respondents' self-reported happiness as a function of their demographic characteristics, incomes, and the air pollution and weather on the date and in the place they were surveyed. People with higher incomes report higher levels of happiness, and people interviewed on days with worse local air pollution report lower levels of happiness. Combining these two concepts, I derive the average marginal rate of substitution between income and current air quality - a compensating differential for short-term changes in air pollution.
