  1. 11. The weight-based tariff and recycling of cans and PET-bottles : a study of behavioral spillovers in the context of waste sorting and recycling

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Linda Skogström; [2019]
    Keywords : behavioral spillovers; cans; deposit; economics; panel data; PET-bottles; recycling; waste; waste sorting; weight-based tariff;
