Abstract

We explore whether mayors supported by pro-environmental parties enhance local environmental outcomes compared to their non-environmental counterparts. We study close elections within a regression discontinuity design and find a notable rise in recycling rates in Italian municipalities governed by pro-environmental coalitions. This uptick becomes far less pronounced when adopting broader criteria to define green mayoral candidates. Crucially, the enhanced recycling rates are not realized through augmented budgets for environmental initiatives or waste collection, but rather are primarily attributed to the implementation of local policies, such as on-call waste collection and the establishment of waste collection centers.

绿党是否会影响当地的废物管理政策?
我们探讨了与非环保党派的市长相比,环保党派支持的市长是否会提高当地的环保成果。我们在回归不连续设计中研究了近距离选举,发现在亲环境联盟治理的意大利城市中,回收率显著上升。如果采用更宽泛的标准来定义绿色市长候选人,这种上升就不那么明显了。重要的是,回收率的提高并不是通过增加环保措施或废物收集的预算实现的,而是主要归功于地方政策的实施,如随叫随到的废物收集和废物收集中心的建立。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
