The Relationship

This essay aims to analyze the various scenarios in economic activities and the relationship that exists between the Public Sector and the Private Sector, by proposing to work in a coordinated manner on an investment project with an environmental focus. For this case, about a decrease in air pollution in a part of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (Jalisco, Mexico). Based on the information seen in the Seminar “Prospective, complex thinking and transdiscipline”, and as part of the indicated activities, was? didactic material that exemplifies the development of concepts, methodology and economic and financial analysis tools used in the subject of Formulation and Evaluation of Projects taught in the Economics Degree of the University of Guadalajara. The logical framework methodology is used, in which the relationship between the Public Sector and the Private Sector is articulated, as links that occur systematically in a complex environment, such as air pollution in cities and that it affects the public health of the population.

Call Center Workers

We investigate the effect of pollution on worker productivity in the service sector by focusing on two call centers in China. Using precise measures of each worker’s daily output linked to daily measures of pollution and meteorology, we find that higher levels of air pollution decrease worker productivity. These results manifest themselves at levels of pollution commonly found in large cities throughout the developing and developed world. (JEL J24, L84, O13, P23, P28, Q51, Q53)

We study the effect of outdoor air pollution on the productivity of indoor workers at a pear-packing factory. Increases in fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a pollutant that readily penetrates indoors, leads to significant decreases in productivity, with effects arising at levels below air quality standards. In contrast, pollutants that do not travel indoors, such as ozone, have little, if any, effect on productivity. This effect of outdoor pollution on indoor worker productivity suggests an overlooked consequence of pollution. Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest the labor savings from nationwide reductions in PM2.5 generated a sizable fraction of total welfare benefits. (JEL D24, J24, L66, Q13, Q51, Q53)
