We find that, in societies with heightened political engagement (connectivity), the answer is in the affirmative. Resource windfalls spark public debates over their usage. A model of contest over public opinion predicts that under high societal connectivity resource-induced public debates lead to elevated polarization by allowing extremists unbridled control over the discourse. Employing detailed individual-level U.S. data on political opinions covering several decades, we first confirm that active participation in the political discourse is associated with more extreme (polarized) opinions. Second, we test the model’s predictions by examining the impact of plausibly exogenous variations in states’ connectivity levels and resource windfalls on individuals’ political opinions. Our baseline estimates show that a one standard deviation of resource windfalls induces a 4% increase in the affective polarization of individuals residing in high connectivity states. Our results shed light on hitherto overlooked adverse effects of natural resource abundance, as well as on the dynamics of political polarization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103164"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143941199","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}

Expanding organics diversion (composting) programs is a common solution for reducing methane emissions from landfills, which are primarily caused by organics. This study explores the staggered implementation of a curbside organics program expansion and finds that households increase their diversion behavior by 45%; however, the program costs per household are nine times greater than the social benefit of avoided methane. The cost/ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (CO2e) avoided is then estimated across the United States for these programs. The median organics program expansion would cost $478/ton of CO2e avoided. However, this estimate has substantial heterogeneity because some municipalities, particularly large cities, are served by landfills with methane capture, resulting in the largest potential methane producers having among the lowest methane emissions per household.

We find that the Cost SMS backfires: it instead leads to a substantial reduction in electric heating. This can be attributed to salience bias induced by the Cost SMS, which drew heightened attention to the cost of electricity. The Health SMS is ineffective for households that underestimate the health damage of coal heating. Social Comparison SMS is only effective for a small proportion of households who were concerned about their neighbors’ heating choices.
