Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 11:19:09 -0800 Subject: arbcombo -- Chairs Lecture: Estimating the Costs and Benefits of Regulations: Lessons Learned From: tclarksj@arb.ca.gov We are pleased to announce the next Series topic: “Estimating the Costs and Benefits of Regulations: Lessons Learned”. http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/lectures/speakers/morgenstern/morgenstern.htm Richard D. Morgenstern, Ph.D. Resources for the Future (RFF) Friday, March 14, 2014 12:00 Noon, PDT (WEBCAST) Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Federal, state and local environmental laws have achieved significant improvements in public health over the past several decades. The development of these regulations also resulted in growing scrutiny about the costs and benefits of environmental rules. Traditionally the costs and benefits of a regulation are estimated prior to implementation of a law or regulation (what is known as “ex ante’ analysis), but there is also an increasing push to retrospectively analyze the impact of a regulation after implementation, through what is known as “ex post” analysis. The question is: ­ How do the two forms of analysis compare? ­ How accurate are the anticipated ex ante analyses when measured against the actual, measured costs of the ex post analysis? Dr. Richard Morgenstern will present and discuss his research on the evaluation of environmental regulations and compare the costs and benefits of federal environmental regulations estimated both before and after implementation. Dr. Morgenstern's work highlights pitfalls that can lead to inaccurate results and proposes a way to conduct retrospective analyses in the future--to ensure that the estimation of regulatory costs is as targeted and focused as the underlying environmental regulations.

Parrish, Ph.D. Colorado Institute for Research in Environmental Studies Thursday, August 7, 2014 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Over half of humanity lives in cities. The number of megacities (with populations over 10 million) grew from 3 in 1975 to 19 in 2007, and is projected to increase to 27 in 2025. These megacities are the engines of growing economies, but are also very large sources of air pollutants and climate-forcing agents. This talk will examine how several important air pollutants in Los Angeles have responded to control measures over the decades, and show how present pollution in Beijing compares with earlier decades in Los Angeles. A qualitative discussion of the relationship of pollutant concentrations to urban population provides some interesting insights into urban air pollution. Finally, it will be argued that the much larger population density of eastern Asia compared to the western United States is likely to greatly increase the difficulty of improving the air quality in Beijing compared to the Los Angeles experience.
