In this paper, we provide evidence on the role of environmental exposures in shaping weight-related health behaviors and outcomes. Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and an identification strategy leveraging temperature deviations from local seasonal norms, we show that adults were less likely to report trying to lose weight, dieting to lose weight, and exercising to lose weight when temperatures fell below 20–25 °C (68–77 °F). We then show that temperature increases were associated with increases in respondents' weekly servings of fruits and vegetables and the number of minutes they spent engaged in moderate or vigorous physical activity. Despite these behavioral changes, we find no evidence of a relationship between temperature and BMI. Therefore, despite concerns that rising global temperatures may increase the prevalence of overweight and obesity, our findings suggest that it is in fact cooler days that reduce the likelihood individuals engage in weight management behaviors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"131 ","pages":"Article 103138"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike prior studies based on agronomic and hydrologic (ag-hydro) models, we collect detailed data from water quality monitors and employ panel data econometric methods to estimate the relationship between cropland and nitrogen pollution. We find an increase in nitrogen load in nearby downstream waterways associated with an additional corn acre upstream that is substantially smaller than the field-to-river adjusted loss per cropland acre based on ag-hydro models. Our findings are consistent with those of recent research documenting the accumulation of large amounts of nitrogen in subsurface soil and groundwater over several decades; this is surplus nitrogen that was applied to fields but has yet to appear in waterways. This legacy nitrogen eventually reaches streams and rivers exacerbating further nitrogen pollution leading to time lags in measurable water quality improvements following the implementation of mitigation practices and policies. In the presence of large amounts of legacy nitrogen, land retirement, and other on-farm mitigation practices, may not be cost effective. Downstream off-farm practices, such as the development of fluvial wetlands, which remove both legacy and new nitrogen, can be cost-effective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 103132"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143429813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our model explains why redistributive concerns induced some governments to choose extensive commitment by providing price certainty to investors in renewable energy for 20 years.

These surviving firms adjusted by reducing coal consumption, altering their product mix, and increasing innovation activities, resulting in significant transitional costs.

We find that the report containing the social norm alone leads to a 5% reduction in the volume of unsorted waste. Making the cap salient significantly reduces the effectiveness of the social norm. The two treatments have a similar negative effect on the likelihood of exceeding the disposal cap. The reduction in unsorted waste is partly achieved through an increase in waste sorting, and is not accompanied by higher illegal disposals or lower quality of sorted waste.
