De-carbonization and Development Path: Analysis of Household Carbon Footprint in Indonesia and the Philippines M. Iqbal Irfany Moises Neil Seriño Entdeken Project Meeting 16.10.12

Outline Introduction Research questions Literature review Methods Preliminary findings Conclusion and further works

Introduction By consuming goods and services, households directly and indirectly contribute to the rising emissions. (Recall, e.g. more than 80% of the energy use and the CO 2 emission in US are a consequence of consumer demands and their supporting activities (Bin and Dowlatabad (2005)). “Aggregation theory” argues that aggregation over households with unequal incomes leads to rising emissions with rising incomes (Heerink, Mulato and Bulte, 2001). However, the literature glance shows that there are relatively more studies on household carbon footprint were conducted in the developed countries compared to developing countries, including Indonesia and the Philippines.

Introduction Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) Hypothesis – Proposes an inverse U formed relationship between per- capita income and environmental degradation. – For a given society, the environmental pressure is expected to increase in the early stages of growth, but eventually to reach a peak and decrease as income exceeds a certain level (the turning point). Income Emissions
5
Research Objectives 1.What is the characteristic of HH carbon consumption in Indonesia and the Philippines? How does it differ in term of income, location, etc? 2.What are the main determinants of the growing HH carbon footprint in Indonesia and the Philippines? 3.Which consumption categories are the most carbon intensive, and vice versa? 4.How will carbon emissions develop over time when HH income increases?
6
Fill the gap by estimating the detailed view on HH carbon footprint in two developing (emerging ) economies: Indonesia and the Philippines Attempt to account the HH emission of developing countries from the micro perspective. Novelties

Related Literatures Parikh et al. (1997) estimate carbon footprint of HH in India with different incomes, rural and urban, estimations for 1990 and 2010 –The rich have a more carbon intensive lifestyle compared to the poor. –Differing energy intensities enable CO2 reductions by changing consumption patterns Lenzen (1998) analyzes energy and carbon footprint of HH in Australia –The indirect energy and GHG demand matters more (65%) Pachauri and Spreng (2002) analyze energy requirements of households in India for 1983-1994 –Higher energy requirements due to rising income and population
8
Related Literatures Pachauri (2004) analyzes energy requirements of HHs in India controlling for household characteristics in 1993 and 1994 and divide 9 consumption categories –Income matters but characteristics as well Bin and Dowlatabad (2005) analyze energy and CO2 requirements of households in the US in 1997 and divide 10 consumption categories –More than 80% of the US energy and CO2 emitted are a consequence of consumer demand and its economic activities supporting these demand –Indirect energy requirements represent the larger share
9
Methodology Computing carbon intensities for all national IO sectors: incorporating emission data and IO Apply single region IO model based on the GTAP. Account for direct and indirect emissions (from goods produced and consumed) and emissions from imported goods. Matching GTAP emission database (57 sectors) with IO table to get (sectoral) emission intensities. Computing household carbon footprint: Combine carbon intensities with household demand structure: Direct and as indirect emissions from consumption. Match the sectoral emission intensities (the same sector as IO table) with corresponding expenditure categories (from the HH expenditure survey).

Data CO2 emission data GTAP’s “Emission Data Base for Integrated Assessment of Climate Change Policy “ https://www.gtap.agecon.purdue.edu/resources/search.asp https://www.gtap.agecon.purdue.edu/resources/search.asp Data of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion (coal + oil + gas + petroleum products + electricity + gas manufacture and distribution), based on GTAP version 7 (2004 database). Indonesia National Socio-economic Household Survey (SUSENAS), 2005 and 2010 278,352 Households. More than 350 items of HH expenditure Indonesian IO Tables (Indonesian statistical board/BPS, 2005) 175 sectors The Philippines Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), 2003 39,615 Households. More than 200 items of HH expenditure Philippine IO Tables (National Statistics Office/NSO, 2000) 240 sectors

The Determinants of HHs Carbon Footprint where: CO2 i is the (log) carbon emissions by each household i Income i is measured as total expenditure of household i and in the following results it is (also) represented by income quintiles HH_char i are the household characteristics such as location (urban- rural), gender of the household head, educational attainment, household size, share of fuel expenditure u i is the error term

23
Conclusion Income is the main determinant of household carbon footprint and it has a nonlinear effect. Fuel and light, transportation are the two most CO2 intensive emitting household consumption category Varying income groups differ significantly in terms of carbon footprint. Other household characteristics significantly affects carbon footprint. Urbanity, and highly educated household heads emits more CO2. Age and household size has a nonlinear effect on household carbon footprint.
24
Further work: Income elasticities estimation (Engel curves) As income matters as major factor of CF, we will try to figure out which consumption categories are the driving the rising CF (vice versa)? Estimate income elasticities for different consumption items w ij is the share of total expenditures allocated to the j-th consumption category by i-th HH; y i is the HH income (in logs) X i is the vector of HH characteristics
25
Income elasticities, concerns Dealing with endogeneity issue, as independent variable (income) are not independent, we need to find the (valid) instrument. o Possible candidate: Asset index (reflects: the ownership of durable goods, land, dwelling characteristics, etc) 2 SLS regression which use the AI as the instrument for total expenditure.
26
Further works Demand analysis Extending the analysis to two-three further waves (2010 and/or 1997); panel data analysis Household emission inequality? Household emission efficiency (frontier analysis)?
