Quantifying the Relationship Between Climatic Conditions and Personal Financial and Health Well‐Being
研究利用1991-2018年英国面板数据，匹配32个气象站数据，发现有利气候条件与更高福祉评估正相关，不利条件（尤其是温度异常）负相关，天气的货币成本可达月收入的15%。
ABSTRACT We address an important research gap by quantifying the association between weather conditions (sunshine, rainfall, temperature anomalies) and individual financial, mental and physical health self‐assessments. We compile a unique dataset of observations (1991–2018) by matching individual‐level data (covering 380 Local Authorities) from the British Household Panel & UK Household Longitudinal Surveys to monthly and daily data from 32 weather stations. We provide robust evidence that favourable climatic conditions are positively related to the likelihood of reporting higher well‐being assessments, and negatively related to adverse conditions (particularly temperature anomalies). The estimated weather monetary cost reaches 15% of monthly household income.
