Abstract

Little is known about how households adapt to climate change. Previous research has focused on geographical differences in fuel choice and air conditioning. Using a twenty-eight-year panel of homes, we conducted the first longitudinal analysis of eight categories of adaptations and their impact on electricity, gas, and water expenditures. Exposure to cold or warm days correlates with increased spending on doors, windows, equipment, insulation, energy, and water. Our findings suggest cooling costs will rise, offset by lower heating costs. We predict a significant increase in electricity and water use during summer, leading to seasonal utility adjustments.
美国家庭对温度变化的自主适应
人们对家庭如何适应气候变化知之甚少。以前的研究主要集中在燃料选择和空调的地理差异上。我们利用一个28年的家庭面板,对八类适应及其对电、气和水支出的影响进行了首次纵向分析。暴露在寒冷或温暖的天气中与门窗、设备、绝缘材料、能源和水的支出增加有关。我们的研究结果表明,制冷成本将会上升,但会被较低的供暖成本所抵消。我们预测,夏季用电和用水将显著增加,导致季节性公用事业调整。

期刊介绍: The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
