The impact of extreme temperatures and air pollution on labor supply and earnings: Evidence from Vietnam

Vietnam is one of the most exposed countries to climate change, with losses estimated at 3.2% of its GDP in 2020. Furthermore, the country's PM2.5 levels have persistently surpassed the global average for the past two decades, reaching levels comparable to China, well known for its air pollution problems.
This study addresses these gaps, investigating the impact of both extreme temperatures and air pollution on labor outcomes in Vietnam.
