1 Household Adoption of Green Technologies: The Case of Chicago Rain Barrels Amy W. Ando and Luiz Freitas Dept. of Ag. and Consumer Econ. University of Illinois, Urbana- Champaign 1
2 The Rain Barrel Program (1) Connects to residential rooftop gutter downspout and collects rainwater for later use. Run by Chicago Dept. of Environment Part of a multiple effort to reduce municipal water consumption, enhance groundwater recharge, and improve storm water management. Distribution: 2004, 2006, 2007 Image: Reference: City of Chicago Rain Barrel Program Online Description 2
3 Year The Rain Barrel Program (2) Barrels Distributed Cost to City ( per barrel) Cost to residents (per barrel) $70 $ $78 $ $78 $ Addresses available Rough estimates of benefits from 4,000 barrels (NPV at 3%): 1,450,000 gal. of water conserved and prevented from entering the sewer system. Sewer avoidance: $62,118 Water conservation: $73,950 Environmental quality and flood prevention benefits:? Lower bound on total benefits: $136,068 3
4 Data Sources & Assembly Provided by Chicago directly: Basement flooding data ( ). Rain barrel buyers addresses (2004, 2006, and 2007). Green Alley locations. Distribution point locations. Obtained elsewhere: U.S. Census data for year 2000 from factfinder.census.gov ArcMap shape files of Chicago census tracts, wards, and voting districts gubernatorial election data by voting district. Assembled and merged using ArcMap. 4
5 Data: Summary Statistics Variable Mean Std. Dev. Min Max Total rain barrels Dummy, tract has at least one barrel Median population age Housing units occupied Housing units occupied by owner % pop. voted Republican % pop. voted Green Median household income ($1,000) % pop. living in detached building % pop. living in 10+ unit building % pop. with at least a bachelor s degree % households who do not own a car Average number of basement floods Average dist. to nearest distr. center (1,000 m) Tract has a Green Alley N=897 5
6 Data: Spatial Distribution, All Years N=2775 6
7 Local Index of Spatial Association (LISA) Map Clustering suggests spatial autocorrelation among rain barrel adoptions. 7
8 Econometric Framework Logit regression estimates factors that affect probability of adoption Binary dependent variable: 1 if tract has at least one barrel; 0 otherwise. Negative binomial regression estimates factors that affect number of barrels adopted. Both regressions also estimated with ward dummies. True spatial probit model run in MATLAB. 8

10 Logit Marginal Effects 10+ housing: 10% increase over median (9.6%) -3.7% Change (Prob. of adoption) Income: 10 over mean (38.2) Income squared: 10 over sqrt. mean (42.6) +9.8% Floods: Zero basement floods versus median (3.66) -2.2% Distance: 1 mi. from distr. center versus mean distance (4.1 mi.) +14.3% Alleys: Has Alley versus no Alley +10.4% *** significant at 99%; ** significant at 95%; *significant at 90%. 10
11 Econometric Conclusions Environmental awareness Some evidence for the signaling role suggested for Green Alleys. Link between human behavior and environment Strong evidence (but small effect) for role of basement flooding. Convenience Strong evidence for proximity to distribution center. 11
