Air Quality and Green Employment

Qifeng Hou

Abstract


What is green employment, and what is the relationship between air quality and green employment? This is a relatively new research question. This paper takes the panel data of 21 major cities from 2006 to 2017 as a sample, and constructs a comprehensive indicator
of air quality using the entropy method based on the concentration values of PM10, SO2, and NO2. At the same time, it constructs a comprehensive indicator of green employment using the number of green jobs in 15 industries. It analyzes the air quality level and the level of green
employment in major cities of China from two dimensions of time and space, as well as their temporal characteristics and regional differences.
It uses the PVAR model to investigate the relationship between air quality and green employment, and conducts GMM estimation to further
study the relationship between the two.

Keywords
