摘要

本文对2000年以来发表的固体废物经济学文献进行了综述。本调查还总结了生命周期文献的结果，估计了废物处理的外部边际成本和与回收相关的外部边际效益的大小。垃圾填埋处理的外部边际成本相当小。发现回收某些材料的外部边际效益比较大。如果这些估计是正确的，那么固体废物填埋场和焚化炉的条件可能不再是该行业市场失灵的主要原因。相反，与回收某些材料有关的可观的外部利益可能解释了政策的必要性。

Understanding the Economics of Waste: Drivers, Policies, and External Costs

This survey reviews the economics literature on solid waste published since 2000. This survey also summarizes the results of the lifecycle literature estimating the magnitudes of the external marginal cost of waste disposal and the external marginal benefit associated with recycling. The external marginal cost of landfill disposal is found to be rather small. The external marginal benefit of recycling certain materials is found to be comparatively large. If these estimates are true, then conditions at solid waste landfills and incinerators may no longer be the driving source of market failure in the industry. Instead the sizable external benefits associated with recycling some materials may explain the need for policy.

期刊介绍： Environmental and resource economics has become a broad topic making connections with many other subdisciplines in economics as well as the natural and physical sciences. It has also experience a significant growth in research such that the literature is exploding in terms of the number of topics addressed, the number of methodological approaches being applied and the sheer number of articles being written. Coupled with the high degree of specialization that characterizes modern academic research, this proliferation of topics and methodologies makes it impossible for anyone, even those who specialize in the subject, to keep up with developments in the field.
