Temperature and life satisfaction: Evidence from Chinese older adults
We employ detailed monthly temperature data and a nationally representative survey of Chinese older adults to examine the effects of exposure to high temperature on older adults' life satisfaction. A large literature evaluates the objective damage of climate change, but less attention has been paid to subjective well-being of the older population. Given the widely documented distinction of experienced and decision utilities and the trend of global aging, we offer another angle for evaluating the damage of climate change. Our results consistently show that exposure to (extreme) high temperatures significantly lower the older adults' life satisfaction. We link the adaptability of older adults to their life-course experiences and find that early-life resources can be as important as adult-life resources for older adults to adapt to late-life high temperatures. We document both efficiency and equality implications of climate change on the older population.
期刊介绍：
Ecological Economics is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature''s household" (ecosystems) and "humanity''s household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.
Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.
