This study estimates the impact of the 24-hour agricultural electricity policy implemented in Telangana state in 2018, which effectively removed this rationing. Using a district-level monthly panel on agricultural power consumption in Telangana and boundary districts in neighboring states, we find a 53 % increase in agricultural power consumption in Telangana in the two years following the policy, a result that is consistent with a sharp increase in the area under water-intensive rice cultivation in Telangana relative to neighboring states. However, an analysis of detailed groundwater depth data from government monitoring wells, using a geographic difference-in-differences design, reveals no statistically significant change in measured groundwater levels or in the incidence of dry wells. We argue that these seemingly contradictory outcomes stem from limitations in the monitoring framework, which fails to capture water availability in farmer wells in regions with fragmented hard rock aquifers. Our findings highlight that unrestricted power supply can lead to substantial inefficiency in electricity and groundwater use, while official monitoring systems may fail to capture the full hydrological impact. This has important implications for both energy and groundwater policy in South India and other regions with similar hydrogeology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 103244"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145425810","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}

We use a panel regression framework at the sub-national (i.e., regional) level to identify the effect of extreme heat on economic growth in Latin America accounting for acclimation to the season and to the local climate. Extreme heat affects economic growth directly in addition to any indirect effect through higher seasonal mean temperatures. Extreme heat has a negative and significant impact on economic growth, and the magnitude of the impact increases with the intensity and duration of heat. Our results suggest that the impact of each additional consecutive day of extreme heat is greater than the impact of the prior day. We provide suggestive evidence that agriculture is one channel through which extreme heat impacts economic growth. Extreme heat could account for 34 %–68 % of the total projected reduction in the annual economic growth rate at mid-century due to temperature change. Our results suggest that extreme heat is one potential channel for the documented non-linearity in the impacts of rising mean temperature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 103241"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145526341","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}

Yet, users and park managers report high vacancy rates due to unused reservations or “no-shows.” I develop a simple model for the campground reservation, cancellation and no-show decisions. I numerically simulate pricing policies at a hypothetical but representative park. When capacity constraints are binding, the cancellation fees charged by many parks increase no-shows and decrease consumer surplus. In contrast, modestly higher prices and no-show fees dramatically reduce no-shows and increase social surplus by 8 to 15 percent. However, these policies create different distributional effects. Higher prices raise revenue but decrease consumer surplus and discourage reservations from lower income users when income is positively correlated with trip utility. No-show fees increase consumer surplus and do not materially affect the income distribution of users. The optimal no-show fee, equal to the lost consumer surplus from the marginal no-show, maximizes consumer surplus and increases social surplus by 8.5 percent.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 103246"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145526342","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}

Two significant current trends, depopulation and climate change, could exacerbate this issue. Depopulation may lead to a significant decline in the customer base for electricity utilities, potentially driving up electricity bills as the non-power costs of maintaining and operating distribution networks are spread across fewer customers. Furthermore, climate change could increase household electric bills by elevating the rural utilities’ operations and maintenance (O&M) costs due to the accelerated depreciation of capital assets and reduced transmission efficiency under high temperatures. This paper examines the impact of changing populations and climate on electricity utilities, leveraging a novel dataset that characterizes the operations of rural electricity cooperatives. We find that increasing temperatures drive up O&M costs in the short-run. Moreover, we find asymmetrical effects of population increases and decreases on revenues collected from residential electric customers in the short term. When a utility’s customer base shrinks, the remaining customers face higher electricity bills as the utility passes on non-power purchasing costs to them. However, in the long-run, utilities adjust their O&M costs, reducing the burden on the remaining customers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 103255"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145577243","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}
