Abstract

Air pollution is one of the most serious environmental risks and imposes multi-dimensional externalities. This paper examines the impact of air pollution on the efficiency of financial markets. Using a comprehensive set of market anomalies and a composite mispricing score constructed based on all anomalies, we find that stock market anomalies are stronger following severe pollution periods. We document a reduction in air pollution and anomalous returns following months when more attention has been paid toward air pollution. We also find an improvement in air quality reduces anomalous returns. Overall, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that cognitive impairment is a channel through which air pollution accelerates behavioral biases in the financial markets.
