Abstract

This book collects ten previously published papers by Don Fullerton, or Thomas Kinnaman, or both together. These papers include a theory of optimal pricing per bag of garbage when recycling and dumping are available options, empirical work using a cross section of cities that charge different prices, and empirical work using a cross section of households at the start of a price per bag of garbage at the curb.
