This dissertation examines understudied critical issues at the intersection of environmental justice, climate change, and economic theory, using a combination of satellite data analysis and experimental methods. The first chapter investigates the lasting effects of the unintended air quality improvements brought about by the COVID-19 lockdowns in the U.S., with a focus on racial disparities in pollution exposure. The study reveals that while initial air quality improvements have largely faded, non-white communities near industrial sites have faced a troubling resurgence in pollution, underscoring the need for targeted environmental justice policies. The second chapter investigates the impact of rising global temperatures on the occurrence of subsurface landfill fires, which are difficult to detect and pose serious health risks. Using high-resolution satellite data and focusing on landfills in California, the study finds that higher temperatures significantly increase the likelihood of these hidden fires, particularly in landfills located in low-income and non-white neighborhoods. This result emphasizes the need for frequent monitoring as part of climate action plans, particularly in vulnerable communities. The third chapter explores the effectiveness of cooperative strategies in addressing externalities, particularly in the context of environmental economics. Through a lab experiment, the study tests the Nash bargaining solution's applicability to externality provision problems, revealing the stability and efficiency of coalition formation in sharing costs for pollution mitigation. The results provide empirical support for the Lindahl equilibrium and its potential to facilitate stable international environmental agreements.
