Waste dynamics, decoupling and ex post policy effectiveness: evidence from the EU15
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of municipal and packaging waste generation dynamics, based on panel data for the EU15. The evidence provides some valuable policy implications since it analyses the extent to which decoupling has occurred for the two waste streams and if and how effectively EU waste policy has influenced the waste generation-income relationship since 1995. We ...
