固体废物是经济活动产生的剩余物之一。面对不断上升的处理成本，社区正在实施鼓励回收活动的计划。本文研究了价格激励和其他社会经济因素在家庭回收中的作用。参与回收利用建模为一个有序的概率选择使用一个大样本的家庭从波特兰，俄勒冈州，大都市区。固体废物收集的需求估计使用两阶段最小二乘法。结果表明，增加处理费鼓励回收，虽然对固体废物收集服务的需求没有大幅减少。
Abstract Solid waste is one of the residuals generated by economic activities. Faced with rising disposal costs, communities are implementing programs to encourage recycling activities. This paper investigates the role of price incentives and other socio-economic factors in household recycling. Participation in recycling is modeled as an ordered probit choice using a large sample of households from the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area. Demand for solid waste collection is estimated using two-stage least squares. Results indicate that increases in disposal fees encourage recycling, although demand for solid waste collection services is not reduced substantially.
