摘要:

      Agricultural production generates environmental externalities that can impose health costs on populations far from production sites. This paper examines whether new agricultural technology can mitigate such externalities through reducing water pollution. Exploiting the staggered diffusion of insect-resistant Bt cotton, cross-county differential exposure, and fine-scale hydrological linkages, we provide causal evidence that upstream Bt adoption substantially reduces downstream mortality, averting nearly 100,000 deaths annually in rural China. Health gains extend beyond mortality, with effects on morbidity and healthcare utilization. These benefits are driven by cleaner water rather than economic or behavioral channels.
