Causal health impacts of power plant emission controls under modeled and uncertain physical process interference
物理过程干扰存在建模不确定性时的电厂排放控制健康效应
Causal inference with spatial environmental data is often challenging due to the presence of interference: outcomes for observational units depend on some combination of local and non-local treatment. This is especially relevant when estimating the effect of power plant emissions controls on population health, as pollution exposure is dictated by (i) the location of point-source emissions, as well as (ii) the transport of pollutants across space via dynamic physical-chemical…
