DESCRIPTION:*Following extensive scientific evidence on the adverse consequ
 ences of ambient air pollution on health\, short-term air control regulatio
 ns have spread worldwide. Yet\, their effectiveness is context-dependent an
 d academic findings are ambiguous. In this paper\, we develop a novel appro
 ach to assess the heterogeneous health impacts of pollution peaks and the a
 ssociated short-term policies. We construct a synthetic control group to es
 timate Average Treatment Effects on the Treated (ATT) for each peak\, one b
 y one\, and conduct a meta-analysis on the pooled results to study how thei
 r impact varies depending on their characteristics. We apply this method to
  evaluate the 2011 change in the PM10threshold value triggering Air Quality
  Alerts (AQA) programs in Paris on distinct causes of premature mortality. 
 We exploit daily data on pollution\, weather and health in 18 French urban 
 areas. This method can study the heterogeneity of any extreme weather event
 s\, help understand the conditions for efficient counter-measures and thus 
 contribute to fine-tuning policies.**In this paper\, I empirically explore 
 the relationship between support for state intervention and individuals' ac
 tual and perceived rank in the income distribution. For this purpose\, I us
 e an Uruguayan panel data set that documents the opinions of individuals an
 d their perceived income rank. This allows for tackling a central question 
 about the influence of perceptions of relative income in supporting state i
 ntervention in a dynamic setting. Additionally\, I extend my analysis by ex
 ploiting the possible differences in the relationship between perceived inc
 ome rank and support for state intervention between high\, medium\, and low
 -income individuals. The empirical analysis suggests that there are dissimi
 larities in how income rank perceptions relate to support for state interve
 ntion among these groups. To conclude\, political economy implications of t
 he results are discussed. \\n\\nContact: Camille Hainnaux : camille.hainna
