Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study attempts to clarify a suitable wide-area management for balancing efficiency and fairness in waste management. This study examines the following two issues.
The study analyzes the effects of industrial waste taxation on waste generation, final disposal, and illegal dumping in Japan. For final disposal, it investigates effect differences attributable to industrial waste categories and taxation types. It also examines the determinants of industrial waste shipments across jurisdictions. It further clarifies the effects of waste trade restriction and industrial waste taxation on waste shipments, separating the distance and socioeconomic factors. It also examines the determinants of implementation of waste trade restrictions and industrial waste taxation considering socioeconomic factors. Moreover, this study examines the determinants of costs and periods to cleanup illegal dumping sites. It also examines whether the determinants of dumped waste and contaminated soil are removed.
