Abstract

Recycling waste from used goods can substitute for scarce virgin materials and reduce resource dependence. We present a model of waste collection, recycling, and final goods production using virgin and recycled materials. Environmentally safe disposal of trash (non-recycled waste) requires costly processing by landfill and burning which creates externalities. Trade between resource poor and resource rich countries involves non-trivial interactions between terms of trade effects and distortions in recycling and resource extraction. We analyze welfare improving policy intervention with local trash disposal and with trade in trash.

资源依赖、循环利用和贸易

从废旧商品中回收废物可以替代稀缺的原生材料，减少对资源的依赖。我们提出了一个利用原生材料和回收材料进行废物收集、回收和最终产品生产的模型。垃圾（非回收废物）的环境安全处理需要成本高昂的填埋和焚烧处理，这就产生了外部效应。资源贫乏国家和资源丰富国家之间的贸易涉及贸易条件效应与回收和资源开采扭曲之间的非三角互动。我们分析了对当地垃圾处理和垃圾贸易的福利改善政策干预。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
