| Popis: |
Preventing waste generation is the first priority of waste management policies in many countries. In this paper, we examine the effect of unit-based pricing policy using a causal inference approach. Although previous research has examined the impact of unit-based pricing, few studies implement a causal inference framework. We apply the approach called "Weighted Fixed Effects Regression Models for Causal Inference" developed by Imai and Kim (2016, 2019) and find that the effect of unit-based pricing is overestimated by standard linear fixed effects models. We also find evidence that the effect of unit-based pricing is not strictly increasing in the price of waste collection. |
