利用微观数据估计温度对卡路里摄入的影响,发现贫富之间存在显著的卡路里摄入差距,穷人更可能在温度升高时增加饮料消费以弥补热量缺口,揭示了消费不平等和穷人的不健康饮食。

Abstract

This paper employs micro-level data to estimate the impact of temperature on calorie intake. It documents a salient calorie intake gap between the rich and the poor. People with a lower level of wealth tend to consume more beverages when the temperature increases, to offset the calorie gap. The paper contributes to the literature by highlighting consumption inequality and the unhealthy diet of the poor.
