Air pollution doesn’t just damage health - it can also make workplaces more dangerous, according to scientists from Yonsei University. Analyzing 5,873 safety liability accidents in China over 20 years, the researchers found that doubling PM_2.5 concentrations led to a 2.6-fold increase in accident probability, 37% more deaths, and 51% more casualties. The findings highlight a critical but overlooked dimension of air pollution’s social and economic burden.

Using comprehensive firm-level databases, this study presents the different trends in aggregate and individual labor shares in China's manufacturing sector during 1998-2016.The divergence is driven by firms gradually increasing market share and reducing labor share.
