Noise pollution from electric passenger rail harms babies' health. "I estimate that the annual cost of noise pollution due to harms to health at birth is $9.8 billion." Black, Hispanic, and the poorest Americans disproportionately bear these costs. This is such a cool paper!

I think that both sides of the debate are quick to conclude. I think whether gift giving (as opposed to cash) increases welfare is an empirical question. Deadweight loss is just one side of the equation. There's also search costs involved in finding a gift.
