Evaluating air pollution as a public hazard

Graham Watson

19th December 2016

Always nice to hear "The Prodigy" on the BBC and that's the backing track throughout this clip - however, the economics in this video clip are fascinating.

It starts from the premise that the figures relating to air pollution are skewed - and it does a good job of deconstructing the statistical models that generate the estimated human costs of air pollution. Evaluation-tastic. A great clip for all interested economists to watch.
