So the original freakanomics economist Steve Levitt wrote the original paper showing the abortion effect dominating. Then some economists pointed out errors in that paper which reduced its affect but did not change the underlying conclusion. Another economist Jessica Wolpaw Reyes then wrote a paper on the affects of lead in gasoline showing it was the dominant effect.
Then they got together and discussed it and did some research and the freakanomics podcast recently did an episode on it
