Abstract

I estimate a dynamic location choice model using data on 3.7 million seniors from 2001 to 2013. Choices depend on preferences and beliefs regarding longevity and the future evolution of health and wealth in different locations. The model accommodates heterogeneous preferences. Willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates for milder winters are relatively uniform and positive. WTP for cooler summers exhibits heterogeneity. Under a “business as usual” climate change counterfactual, 1.9% of individuals would change their location choices. Annual WTP to avoid the climate change counterfactual varies across locations and types from −$1,191 to $3,944 with an average of $1,855 (USD 2000).

住宅分类与健康的动态：美国气候变化的影响

我利用2001年至2013年370万老年人的数据估算了一个动态地点选择模型。选择取决于对长寿的偏好和信念，以及不同地区健康和财富的未来演变。该模型能够适应不同的偏好。较暖冬的支付意愿（WTP）估计值相对均匀且为正值。较冷夏季WTP表现出异质性。在“一切如常”的气候变化反事实情况下，1.9%的人会改变他们的居住地选择。避免气候变化反事实的年度WTP因地点和类型而异，从- 1,191美元到3,944美元，平均为1,855美元（2000美元）。
