Abstract

This study examines the spillover effect of California's 2016 single‐use bag ban (SB 270) on unregulated single‐use plastics (SUPs) like cutlery, cups, and plates. We observed an insignificant 4.8% decrease in SUP sales over the entire post‐policy period, but a larger 8.1% drop in the second post‐year, which was only marginally significant. The findings suggest weak spillover effects from such environmental policies, indicating that direct regulations on certain environmentally harmful products might be more effective if jurisdictions aim to prohibit citizens from excessive use, rather than relying on the positive spillover effect from existing policies.
环境政策的行为溢出效应:加州一次性手提袋禁令对使用不受管制的一次性塑料制品的影响
本研究探讨了加利福尼亚州 2016 年一次性塑料袋禁令(SB 270)对餐具、杯子和盘子等未受管制的一次性塑料制品(SUP)的溢出效应。我们观察到,在政策实施后的整个期间内,一次性塑料制品的销售量下降了 4.8%,降幅并不显著,但在政策实施后的第二年,降幅更大,达到了 8.1%,且降幅很小。研究结果表明,此类环保政策的溢出效应较弱,这表明,如果司法管辖区旨在禁止公民过度使用某些有害环境的产品,而不是依赖现有政策的积极溢出效应,那么对这些产品的直接监管可能会更有效。
