	abstract = {This paper examines the relationship between income, pollution, and mortality in China from 1991-2012. Using first-difference models, we document a robust positive association between city-level GDP and life expectancy. We also find a negative association between city-level particulate air pollution exposure and life expectancy that is driven by elevated cardiorespiratory mortality rates. The results suggest that while China{\textquoteright}s unprecedented economic growth over the last two decades is associated with health improvements, pollution has served as a countervailing force.},
