The economics of waste management

Economic instruments and induced innovation: The European policies on end-of-life vehicles

“…The main business of car dismantlers is the recovery of highvalue spare parts for dreuseT. Used reconditioned spare parts compete, in a very complex way, with new original spare parts(Zoboli et al, 2003).19 SeePearce andBrisson (1995) and DETR (1993). A staticoriented neoclassic analysis of waste policies leads to a theoretical equivalence in terms of welfare and innovation effects of different instruments implemented at various levels of the waste production/ management chain.…”

Waste and organized crime in regional environments

“…This situation has led to detrimental effects on human health, worsened environmental quality, and a perceived reduction in the quality of public goods in urban settings. As clarified by theoretical and empirical investigations within the 'economics of waste' (Mazzanti and Montini, 2009;Pearce and Brisson, 1995;Shinkuma and Managi, 2011, among others), these problems seem to be driven primarily by policy failures and the lack of new and diversified investments in waste management and disposal facilities. Our paper intends to offer further progress in understanding these issues with reference to urban waste, focusing specifically on the case of Italy.…”

Lineamientos para la prevención de impactos ambientales negativos en la demolición de edificaciones

“…Un criterio sustantivo que soportará la elaboración de los modelos de congestión afines a la evacuación de los escombros requiere de un trazado exhaustivo de sus respectivas rutas de salida, las cuales serán ingredientes significativos para el escrutinio de la situación de la obra, de la toma de decisiones, de las cuales se desprenderán formulaciones de modelos como la tonelada/kilómetro/$, por ejemplo. De nuevo, por intermedio de la estática comparativa esbozada por Pearce y Brisson (1993) es dable suponer que se puede entender esta arista del problema considerando la congestión física de los escombros amontonados in situ en su relación con el área de la obra.…”
