Adaptation of American Homes to Climate Change some comments Céline Nauges (TSE & INRA)
General comments Nice and ambitious empirical paper • Relevant and timely question: impact of climate change on investment in • house equipment and energy consumption; cost for households of adapting to climate change Large panel data set of US homes combined with weather data • Econometrically ‐ challenging: two linked decisions (investment, energy use), • panel data, endogeneity issues, dynamics (capital stock, investment) Heavy empirical modelling involving several sequential steps and a number • of assumptions
Specific comments – model specification Link between the two main models (investment and energy use) should be more explicit: Investment equation: I t = f (Z, K t ‐ 1 , X etc.) Energy use equation: q t = g (q t ‐ 1 , p, K t , Z etc.) Do you assume K t = K t ‐ 1 + Î iht where Î iht is obtained from first stage?
Specific comments – econometrics Multiple stages: control function approach to deal with the endogeneity of • the stock of capital in first ‐ stage model & investment predicted in first ‐ stage model used as a regressor in the second stage Raises concern about the accuracy of the standard errors at the final stage • Serial correlation in the error terms is also likely • Some instruments would need greater justification: e.g. refurbishment of • the kitchen or bathroom as instrument for past energy use (also, small variation over time is expected) Estimation of energy consumption made separately for hh using gas and hh • using electricity – could selection bias be an issue?
Specific comments – adaptation cost to a 1°F increase in temperature Pretty small estimated impact on energy consumption and GHG emissions. • Standard errors should be calculated and reported. Is the total monetary impact (+$95 and +$153) statistically different from • zero? Sensitivity analysis around the prices of gas and electricity would be useful •
Suggestions Report how incorrect the estimated energy consumption would be if first ‐ • stage (investment behaviour) was omitted Can your findings be contrasted with those of Deschênes and Greenstone • (2011) and Auffhammer and Aroonruengsawat (2011)?
