The Harvard-China Project periodically works to bring much of the research capacities listed at left into comprehensive integrated assessments, applied to both past and future policies.
Structured by the Project’s economic and atmospheric models, two of these book-length studies provide some of the most comprehensive interdisciplinary scholarship on the costs and benefits of emission controls of both air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
- Clearer Skies Over China: Reconciling Air Quality, Climate, and Economic Goals (Nielsen and Ho, eds., 2013, MIT Press)
- Clearing the Air: The Health and Economic Damages of Air Pollution in China (Ho and Nielsen, eds., 2007, MIT Press)
Many of the methods represented in these books have been applied in subsequent interdisciplinary journal articles by collaborating researchers of the Harvard-China Project and its partner institutions in China.
