摘要

对全球气候变化的担忧促使人们支持家用电气化以减少二氧化碳排放。然而，由于强制家庭电气化的成本和缺乏无排放电网，这项政策的社会净效益尚不清楚。使用离散选择经验策略，本文估计了家庭为避免电气化授权而支付的意愿与其在住宅空间和热水市场中的环境效益之间的权衡。与反事实相比，从2025年到2050年，该法令每年的净社会成本为470亿美元，主要来自东北部和中西部北部的家庭。

The social welfare implications of electrification in the U.S. residential energy market

Concerns over global climate change have led to support for household electrification to reduce CO₂ emissions. However, due to the cost of mandating household electrification and the lack of an emissions-free grid, the social net benefit of this policy is unknown. Using a discrete choice empirical strategy, this paper estimates the tradeoff between household willingness to pay to avoid an electrification mandate and its environmental benefits in residential space and water heating markets. Compared with the counterfactual, the mandate has a net social cost of $47 billion annually from 2025 to 2050, largely from households in the Northeast and North Midwest.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
