摘要: One of the major adaptation mechanisms to climate change is increased demand for cooling via air conditioning indoor environments. China’s conditioners has displayed explosive growth since 1995. This paper provides estimates income and short run weather sensitivity conditioner adoption across urban areas 29 Chinese provincial entities. We show that decision displays significant in run, with being higher year following a hot summer.
