传统的经济政策侧重于减少回收的成本和努力，并为含有回收成分的产品建立市场。在政策范围的另一端，强制回收的条例是政策方法。本文采用了另一种“元经济学”方法，并提出了“第三条道路”。它是基于这样一种可能性，即回收利用的个人和不回收利用的个人都受到基于自身利益的回收利用激励措施的激励，以及希望在追求其他利益时“做正确的事情”的意识的激励。后者涉及真正的自我牺牲，表现为利他主义。统计分析表明，一个人成为回收者的可能性取决于回收的重要程度，但也与不只是有利于自身利益的取向有关。此外，回收的个人更愿意支持回收条例。
Traditional economic policy focuses on reducing the costs and effort of recycling and on building markets for products with recycle content. At the other end of the policy spectrum, ordinances mandating recycling are the policy approach. This article takes an alternative “metaeconomics” approach and suggests a “third way.” It is premised on the possibility that individuals who recycle and those who do not are jointly motivated by financial-based recycling incentives in the self-interest and by the sense of wanting to “do the right thing” in the pursuit of an other-interest. The latter involves true self-sacrifice represented in altruism. The statistical analysis suggests that the probability of an individual being a recycler is determined by the extent to which recycling is important, but in conjunction with an orientation away from favoring just the self-interest. In addition, individuals who recycle are more willing to support a recycling ordinance.
