摘要

能源贫困是全球日益关注的问题。本文旨在利用澳大利亚的纵向数据，研究不良心理健康作为能源贫困风险因素的作用。研究考察了心理健康对能源贫困的直接影响，并探讨了涉及储蓄行为、赌博和社会信任的潜在机制。考虑到心理健康的内生性，研究结果表明，心理健康状况不佳会增加陷入能源贫困的可能性。此外，储蓄行为是心理健康影响能源贫困的一种机制。研究结果表明，实施支持心理健康的政策可以作为解决能源贫困问题的一项有前途的战略。

Mind over matter: The impact of mental health on energy poverty

Energy poverty is a growing global concern. This paper aims to investigate the role of poor mental health as a risk factor for energy poverty using longitudinal data from Australia. The study examines the direct effects of mental health on energy poverty and explores potential mechanisms involving saving behavior, gambling, and social trust. The findings, which account for the endogeneity of mental health, suggest that poor mental health increases the likelihood of being in energy poverty. Furthermore, saving behavior is a mechanism through which mental health influences energy poverty. The study's findings imply that implementing policies to support mental health could serve as a promising strategy for addressing energy poverty.

期刊介绍： Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers. Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
