在评估食品、能源和水（FEW）保护行为对限制全球温室气体排放和气候变化的影响时，溢出效应被认为很重要。未能考虑到所有可能的溢出效应或干预的间接和意外结果，不仅会掩盖与跨领域动态交互有关的有价值的信息，还会导致估计有偏差。在这项研究中，我们首先系统地回顾了一些文章，这些文章调查了一种环保行为的表现会影响 FEW 领域的后续行为的行为。通过对过去十年 48 项研究的回顾，我们注意到，关于溢出效应的讨论很大一部分涉及个体 FEW 保护行为之间因果关系的性质和方向。我们在文献中发现了一个关键差距，即干预措施引起的溢出效应与主要行为引起的溢出效应之间的区别。接下来，我们对所审查的实证研究进行了定量荟萃分析，以发现适度但总体积极的溢出效应。最后，我们使用系统思维视角回顾了 FEW 溢出文献中的理论和方法论多样性，以总结已知的内容并确定具有重大政策影响的未来挑战和研究机会。
Spillover effects are considered important in evaluating the impacts of food, energy and water (FEW) conservation behaviors for limiting global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Failure to account for all possible spillovers, or indirect and unintended results of an intervention, not only obscures valuable information pertaining to the dynamic interactions across domains but also results in biased estimates. In this study, we first systematically reviewed articles that investigate the idea that the performance of one pro-environmental behavior influences the conduct of subsequent behaviors(s) from the FEW domains. From our review of 48 studies in the last decade, we note that a big part of the discussion on spillover concerns the nature and direction of causal relationships between individual FEW conservation behaviors. We identify a critical gap in the literature regarding the distinction between spillover effects caused by the interventions as distinct from those caused by the primary behaviors. Next, we conducted a quantitative meta-analysis of the reviewed empirical studies to find a modest but overall positive spillover effect. Finally, we reviewed the theoretical and methodological plurality in the FEW spillover literature using a systemic thinking lens to summarize what is already known and identify future challenges and research opportunities with significant policy implications.
