本文通过研究中国核电站附近土地市场的交易情况,探讨2011年福岛核事故(FNA)是否改变了中国公众对核能的态度。使用一个数据集,匹配的所有核反应堆在中国的详细信息与周围的土地交易信息之前和之后的FNA,我们发现,事故对中国的土地市场产生了动态影响。核事故发生后一个月,核电站方圆40公里范围内的土地价格下跌了约18%。然而,从长期来看,FNA的影响逐渐减少,最终在统计上变得微不足道。此外,灾害的影响因工厂的特点而异,如运行状态,建设年份和规模。(C)© 2016 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
This paper examines whether the 2011 Fukushima Nuclear Accident (FNA) changed the Chinese public's attitude toward nuclear energy by studying transactions in land markets near nuclear power plants in China. Using a data set that matched the details of all nuclear reactors in China with information on land transactions around them before and after the FNA, we find that the accident had dynamic effects on land markets in China. Land prices within 40 km of nuclear power plants dropped by about 18% one month after the nuclear accident. However, the impact of FNA decreased over the longer term, eventually becoming statistically insignificant. Also, the impacts of the disaster varied with plant characteristics such as operating status, construction year, and size. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
