This paper employs new data, a new model of noise pollution generation, and quasi-experimental methods from environmental economics to resolve what has been somewhat of a puzzle.&nbsp; We find consistent evidence that vessel noise pollution from commercial shipping has lowered fertility and raised mortality of the SRKW significantly.&nbsp; Noise pollution is a growing threat to marine mammals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will meet in the Kanta Marwah Seminar Room (D-880 Loeb) in the Department of Economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please email me (Dana, <a href=\"mailto:dana.galizia@carleton.ca\">dana.galizia@carleton.ca<\/a>) if you have any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This message is being sent on behalf of Professor Dana Galizia: ______________________________________________________ Hello, Scott Taylor from the University of Calgary will present in our&nbsp;seminar&nbsp;series on Friday, February 10, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. This is going to be an&nbsp;in-person-only event.
