Research Abstract |
Increased attention has been drawn to the extended producer responsibility (EPR) program as an effective instrument for tackling waste management issues. I considered the EPR programs under strategic interdependent relationship. Especially, I analyzed the following four cases; (1) privatization of a waste disposal sector, (2) foreign ownership, (3) vertical structure of the market, and (4) price competition. The results have been published in some international journals.
