| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the function and welfare effects of regulations on environmental protection and efficient resource use. In particular, we focused on recycling policies, minimum quality standards relating to food products, and individual transferable quotas on fishing activities.
First, considering scrap markets and trade in wastes, we theoretically clarified the combination of optimal recycling policies. Moreover, using the commodity-level trade data, the effect of the Basel Ban was examined empirically. Second, using the laboratory experimental approach, we demonstrated that individual transferable quotas schemes are able to realize efficient fishing activities even if the choice of vessels by fishers are taken into consideration. Third, assuming oligopolistic markets and the existence of advertising, we investigated the welfare effects of minimum quality standards and entry restriction of low-quality products.
