dc.description.abstract | Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to quantify the relative importance of motivations based on warm-glow,
social and moral norms and cost of time used recycling on household recycling efforts. We also test
for crowding-out of intrinsic motivations when recycling is perceived as mandatory. We find that the
most important variable increasing household recycling efforts is agreeing that recycling is a pleasant
activity in itself, which may be interpreted as a warm-glow effect. The most important variable
reducing household recycling is the opportunity cost of time spent recycling. We find no evidence of
crowding-out of intrinsic motivation when recycling is perceived as mandatory. On the contrary, we
find that governmental legislation increases household recycling efforts on most materials.
