Climate Change Has Increased Household Electricity Consumption—An Adaptive Behavioral Perspective
Using the panel data of 244 cities from 2011 to 2020,we construct temperature deviation indicators,and evaluate the effects of climate change on electricity consumption from an adaptive behavior-al perspective.We find cooling degree days(CDD)pushes up electricity consumption,among which the purchase and use of air conditioners contribute about 58.7％-78.7％.Heterogeneity analysis shows ex-treme temperature,humidity and income strengthen the response of electricity consumption and air condi-tioners purchase to CDD.Technological advancements that reduce air conditioning energy consumption can only partially alleviate the positive impact of air conditioning usage duration on household electricity con-sumption.
