1.	Kumbhakar, Subal C., et al. (author) Efficiency in reducing air pollutants and healthcare expenditure in the Seoul Metropolitan City of South Korea 2021 In: Environmental Science and Pollution Research. - : Springer. - 0944-1344 .- 1614-7499. ; 28, s. 25442-25459 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This study analyzes efficiency in the reduction of air pollutants and the associated healthcare costs using a stochastic frontier cost function panel data approach. For the empirical analysis, we use monthly data covering 25 districts in the Seoul metropolitan city of South Korea observed over the period January 2010 to December 2017. Our results show large variations in air pollution and healthcare costs across districts and over time and their efficiency in reducing air pollutants. The study concludes that efforts are needed to apply the World Health Organization’s air quality standards for designing and implementing location-specific customized policies for improving the level of air quality and its equal distribution, provision of health services, and improved efficiency in improving air quality standards. The study identifies a number of determinants of air pollutants and efficiency enhancement which provide useful pointers for policymakers for addressing the current environmental problems in South Korea.
