“…In order to compensate for harm caused by the lack of flexibility in command and control, incentive mechanisms can be a complement to maintaining industry growth Jaffe et al, 1995). Under these mechanisms, manufacturers are charged differently according to their product's characteristics in ease of handling (Dinan Terry, 1993;Dobbs, 1991;Fullerton & Wu, 1998). Issues associated with exploiting economic incentives to promote all stages of material recycling have been extensively investigated in the environmental economics field (Benchekroun & Van Long, 2002;Ulph, 1996;Walls & Palmer, 2001).…”

“…taxes, fines, charges and market incentives) that can be used to minimize the problem of public littering (cf. Fullerton and Wolverton, 2000;Ackerman, 1997;Dobbs, 1991). One study (Kinnaman and Fullerton, 1994), dealing with garbage recycling, examines why some households participate in curbside recycling programs, even in the absence of a user fee; why other households do not participate, even in the presence of a user fee; and why some households choose to litter while others do not.…”

The paper investigates the relationship between pro-social norms and its implications for improved environmental outcomes. This is an area, which has been neglected in the environmental economics literature. We provide empirical evidence to demonstrate a small but significant positive impact between perceived environmental cooperation (reduced public littering) and increased voluntary environmental morale. For this purpose we use European Values Survey (EVS) data for 30 European countries. We also demonstrate that Western European countries are more sensitive to perceived environmental cooperation than the public in Eastern Europe. Interestingly, the results also demonstrate that environmental morale is strongly correlated with several socio-economic and environmental variables. Several robustness tests are conducted to check the validity of the results.
