Abstract

In order to handle the increasing problem of abandoned end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in Sweden, an incentive system was introduced in 1975. One of the cornerstones of the system is a premium received by the owner when an ELV is returned for dismantling. The premium is intended to create an economic incentive to return the ELV. The European Union (EU) directive regarding extended producer responsibility for ELVs does not demand any incentive system. This study applied time series econometrics to model the relationship between the number of returned ELVs and the size of the premium using Swedish data. The main contribution of this study is that a positive relationship between the number of returned ELVs and the size of the premium was established. The results indicate that an increased premium would result in an increased number of returned ELVs. This implies that the efficiency of the EU directive could be increased if combined with an incentive system. Copyright Springer Japan 2008
