Abstract

This study presents new causal evidence on how urban heat contributes to sorting within a city. We estimate a discrete choice residential sorting model that includes census-tract fixed effects and controls for open space and green coverage to analyze how differences in urban heat at the census-tract level influence the location choices of New York City homeowners given their race, ethnicity, and income. Our results show clear patterns of residential sorting, with whites and high-income households outcompeting other racial/ethnic groups and low-income households for housing in cooler neighborhoods. Our counterfactual exercise, inspired by Cool Neighborhoods NYC, reveals that heat-mitigation policies can make poorer and minority households, on average, worse off. These findings are striking, considering that such programs often aim to enhance welfare in heat-exposed neighborhoods predominantly inhabited by low-income and minority households.

城市热量和市内住宅分类
本研究提供了新的因果证据,说明城市热量是如何促进城市内部分拣的。我们估算了一个包含人口普查区固定效应以及开放空间和绿化覆盖率控制的离散选择住宅分选模型,以分析人口普查区层面的城市热量差异如何影响纽约市房主的种族、民族和收入的位置选择。我们的研究结果显示了明显的住宅排序模式,白人和高收入家庭与其他种族/族裔群体和低收入家庭竞争,选择了较凉爽社区的住房。受纽约市凉爽社区的启发,我们进行了反事实演练,结果显示,平均而言,防暑降温政策会使贫困家庭和少数民族家庭的境况更糟。考虑到此类计划通常旨在提高主要由低收入家庭和少数民族家庭居住的高温暴露社区的福利,这些发现令人震惊。

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.
