Abstract:	This dissertation studies questions in the fields of labor and environmental economics. It consists of four self-contained chapters that examine how seemingly small differences in the environments in which individuals work, live, shop, and grow up shape their pay, health, and consumption behavior. The dissertation covers two particular research areas. The first area examines the role that managers play in gender inequality. The second area concerns how air quality and its regulation affect the health of workers and young children, and the behavior of consumers. Chapter 1 contributes to the former of these research areas, Chapters 2, 3, and 4 to the latter.
