Scrap Prices, Waste, and Recycling Policy
研究了废弃物和回收政策如何影响废料价格，以及废料价格反馈如何改变政策成本，通过模拟分析比较了押金退款、预付费和回收补贴三种工具的效果。
This study examines the effect of waste and recycling policy on scrap prices and the importance of scrap price feedbacks as a determinant of policy costs. Price effects and direct and indirect channels of waste reduction are decomposed for deposit/refund, advance disposal fee, and recycling subsidies. Scrap price feedbacks decrease the cost of advance disposal fees, increase the cost of recycling subsidies, and have an ambiguous effect on the cost of deposit/refund. Simulation analysis finds that scrap price feedbacks substantially affect the costs of the policies and alter the ranking of instruments. <i></i>
