Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Evidence of the health impacts from environmental noise has largely been drawn from studies in high-income countries, which has then been used to inform development of noise guidelines. It is unclear whether findings in high-income countries can be readily translated into policy contexts in low-middle-income-countries (LMICs). We conducted this sys...

We formalize this intuition under the job search framework and s...
