Topic : The Influence of Climate Change on Saving Behavior and Consuming Behavior

Abstract:

On the basis of the rare scenario provided by the Copenhagen World Climate Conference, this paper finds the influence of climate change on saving behavior and consuming behavior from empirical results. This paper converts the theoretical proposition of “climate change certainly causes the distortion of saving behavior and consuming behavior” to the hypothesis of Copenhagen World Climate Conference Scenario which can be verified by existing data, and adopts the difference-in-difference empirical strategy, the instrumental variable method, the pre-trend testing, the robustness testing of the financial crisis hypothesis, the robustness testing of the emission reduction responsibility hypothesis, and the long-term trend testing to comprehensively study that whether the testing results of the hypothesis of Copenhagen World Climate Conference Scenario can support “climate change certainly causes the distortion of saving behavior and consuming behavior”. In order to help researchers and policy makers realize that the influence of climate change on saving behavior and consuming behavior is the key bottleneck for problem solving of climate deterioration, and mitigating the influence of climate change on saving behavior and consuming behavior can largely slow the deterioration of future global climate, this paper systemetically explains the distortion of intra-generational and inter-generational economic behavior caused by climate change through building and solving an overlapping generations model of climate change: the distortion of intra-generational economic behavior means that climate change causes representative agents to decrease savings and increase consumption when young, decrease consumption when old, and increase greenhouse gas emissions; the distortion of inter-generational economic behavior means that climate deterioration caused by the present generation causes the next generation to decrease savings and increase consumption when young, decrease consumption when old, and increase greenhouse gas emissions, the unreasonable consumption and savings decisions and climate deterioration continue among generations.
