Description

This study estimates the impact of the unit-based pricing policy on municipal solid waste in Akita City using the synthetic control method. The obtained results show that the emission of municipal solid waste generated per person in Akita City decreased by about 40 kg per year compared to before the introduction of the unit-based pricing policy. This value is equivalent to a 17% reduction in municipal solid waste in Akita City, suggesting that Akita City's unit-based pricing policy has been effective.
