Arik M. Levinson University of Wisconsin SBR-959515057 This research will use detailed data to analyze interjurisdictional hazardous waste shipments in the United States. The conclusions of this research will have implications for policies affecting national and international transport of hazardous wastes. The research will look at the impact of hazardous waste disposal taxes. Preliminary results indicate that such taxes may be encouraging more on-site disposal of hazardous waste. It will also consider other factors that determine the transportation of hazardous waste. These include industrial composition, hazardous waste capacity, state taxes and regulations, transport cost, geographic concentration of waste generators, scale economies of waste disposal, and demographic factors such as population density, income, education, race and local activism. The effect of hazardous waste regulations on industries that generate waste will be examined. Finally, the economic and environmental effects of the Supreme Court's interpretation of the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution will be examined.

Arik M.威斯康星州莱文森大学SBR-959515057 这项研究将使用详细的数据来分析在美国管辖区之间的危险废物运输。 这项研究的结论将对影响危险废物的国家和国际运输的政策产生影响。 这项研究将着眼于危险废物处理税的影响。 初步结果表明，这种税收可能会鼓励更多地就地处置危险废物。 它还将考虑决定危险废物运输的其他因素。 这些因素包括工业构成、危险废物容量、国家税收和法规、运输成本、废物产生者的地理集中度、废物处置的规模经济以及人口因素，如人口密度、收入、教育、种族和地方行动主义。 将审查危险废物条例对产生废物的工业的影响。 最后，最高法院对美国宪法商业条款的解释的经济和环境影响将被审查。
