Patterns of Economic Affluence and Environmental Degradation in Houston, Texas

چکیده
The relation between urban industrial air pollution and ill-health, particularly in highly economically developed cities, has been recognized for years now; yet severe urban contamination continues to cause damage particularly to children’s health. Plausible evidence is provided in this paper that changes in both the quality of natural environments and the status of residents’ health is strongly related to social structures that have promoted unprecedented economic growth which had resulted in widespread air pollution. Whereas political and economic institutions have consistently and successfully promoted growth, neither health care institutions nor pollution regulations have fundamentally been able to protect residents from the risks of hazardous emissions produced in massive industrialization.

Instrumental Variables Regression with Measurement Errors and Multicollinearity in Instruments
In this paper we obtain a consistent estimator when there exist some measurement errors and multicollinearity in the instrumental variables in a two stage least square estimation of parameters. We investigate the asymptotic distribution of the proposed estimator and discuss its properties using some theoretical proofs and a simulation study. A real numerical application is also provided for mor...

متن کاملDiscovering Regional Co-location Patterns for Sets of Continuous Variables in Spatial Datasets
This paper proposes a novel framework for mining regional co-location patterns with respect to sets of continuous variables in spatial datasets. The goal is to identify regions in which multiple continuous variables with values from the wings of their statistical distribution are co-located. A co-location mining framework is introduced that operates in the continuous domain without and which vi...
