英文文献作者：Beatty, Timothy K.M.,Blow, Laura,Crossley, Thomas
英文文献摘要：
We investigate whether households trade off spending on food and spending on heating. We use a large sample of households from the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland over the period 1974-2007. We find evidence that low-income households reduce food expenditure during periods of colder than average weather. In contrast, wealthier households increase spending on food during colder than average weather. Further we investigate the efficacy of the Winter Fuel Payment, a social program designed to mitigate the effects of energy costs.
我们调查家庭是否会权衡食物和取暖的花费。我们使用了1974-2007年期间英国和北爱尔兰的大量家庭样本。我们发现，低收入家庭在比平均天气更冷的时期会减少食物支出。相比之下，较富裕的家庭会在天气较冷时增加食品支出。我们进一步调查了冬季燃料补贴的有效性，这是一项旨在减轻能源成本影响的社会计划。
