| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we consider how green consumers trying to buy goods with low environmental impact or international joint ventures producing recycled materials are related to the development of eco-industries (including the recycling industry). We then revealed that (1) recycle content standards decrease consumers who choose not to buy differentiated goods in terms of the recycling rate of these products, and (2) recycling standards increase the profit of international recycling joint venture, but reduce the share of the developing country's recycling firm among the profit. Moreover, we showed that (3) in the case of an oligopolistic eco-industry that produces end-of-pipe environmental goods, the optimum tariff level may be negative for the importing country of the goods if the emission tax level is equal to the marginal environmental damage.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の主要な成果は以下の通りである。(1)リサイクル率の異なる製品が存在し、消費者がそれを認識しているとき、この製品の生産工程でリサイクル材料の投入を増やすと、リサイクル率の高い製品と低い製品の消費は両方とも増えてしまうかもしれない。しかしながら、総廃棄物は減少する可能性がある。(2)発展途上国は国際合弁リサイクル企業を設立するためにリサイクル基準を低くする一方、物品税を課すことで総廃棄物も減少させることができる。これらの結論は、適切なリサイクル政策を選択、実施することで、国内環境産業(ここではリサイクル産業)の発展を通じた経済活動と環境保護の両立が実現できる可能性があることを示唆している。
