本文探讨了城市固体废物政策（例如垃圾定价和可回收物收集）所带来的减少和回收效果。垃圾和可回收物的方程是使用赫克曼的两步估计和看似无关的回归（SUR）来估计的，以考虑样本选择偏差以及垃圾和可回收物排放之间的相关性。估算结果表明，城市 PET 瓶收集导致垃圾收集量减少。此外，结果表明，垃圾定价增加了 PET 瓶的收集量，同时减少了垃圾量。
This article examines the reducing and recycling effects caused by municipal solid waste policies, such as garbage pricing and recyclables collection. Equations for garbage and recyclables are estimated using Heckman’s two-step estimation and seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) to consider sample selection bias and the correlation between garbage and recyclables emission. The estimation results suggest that municipal PET bottle collection leads to a reduction in the amount of garbage collected. Furthermore, the results reveal that garbage pricing increases the quantity of PET bottles collected, while it decreases the amount of garbage.
