Adverse effects of extreme temperature on human development: Empirical evidence from household data for Vietnam across regions
This paper develops a new method to construct the household-based Human Development Index to examine the effects of extreme temperature shocks on human development at the household level. Four waves of the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey from 2012 to 2018 are used to analyze the effects of temperature shocks on households in different regions. The findings reveal that if temperatures deviate from the long-run average by more than two standard deviations, the Human Development Index score will decline by 2 to 3.5 percentage points, with the most significant effect identified for households in the South and Central Highlands. Additionally, the paper identifies agricultural production, alcohol consumption and energy poverty as channels through which extreme temperatures affect human development. Finally, the findings suggest that policies aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change on vulnerable regions should focus on supporting households in these areas through measures such as developing climate-resistant crops, encouraging agricultural adaptation strategies, integrating local labor markets, and improving energy access.
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.
