Our results show that carbon intensity of different consumption categories in the U.S. varies significantly. The carbon footprint tends to increase with increasing income but at a decreasing rate due to additional income being spent on less carbon intensive consumption items. This general tendency is frequently compensated by higher frequency of international trips and higher housing related carbon emissions (larger houses and more space for consumption items). Our results also show that more than 30% of CO2 emissions associated with household consumption in the U.S. occur outside of the U.S. Given these facts, the design of carbon mitigation policies should take changing household consumption patterns and international trade into account. technical report Institute of Developing Economies　(IDE-JETRO) 2016-03-01 VoR application/pdf IDE Discussion Paper 593 IDE Discussion Paper https://ir.ide.go.jp/record/37593/files/IDP000593_001.pdf https://doi.org/10.20561/00037588 http://hdl.handle.net/2344/1559 https://ir.ide.go.jp/records/37593 eng アメリカ合衆国 Copyrights 日本貿易振興機構（ジェトロ）アジア経済研究所 / Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) http://www.ide.go.jp
