Overview

Randomized trial examines physical capital's impact on recycling in OECD countries, suggesting infrastructure investment is essential.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore how different types of physical capital affect recycling performance in advanced economies.
  • Analyzed annual panel data from 16 OECD countries between 1995 and 2019.
  • Utilized fixed-effects and cross-sectionally augmented ARDL (CS-ARDL) models for short- and long-run effects.
  • Conducted quantile regression and quantile ARDL to assess distributional heterogeneity.
  • Public capital stock positively impacts recycling ratio in short and long run; government waste management initiatives are effective.
  • Private capital stock negatively correlates with recycling due to increasing material and energy-intensive activities.
  • Heterogeneity analysis shows public capital most beneficial in low- and medium-recycling economies; adverse effects of private capital increase in higher recycling brackets.
