Outline of Final Research Achievements
The second one was to identify if an excess capacity of incinerators "competed" against recycling activity. Through theoretical analysis, we found that, depending upon the elasticity of demand, the subsidy to build incinerators, which have seen a lot in Japan, could worse off the economic welfare. Our empirical result supported that the more there is incinerator's capacity in a local authority, the less the recycling rate is.
