Abstract

Este artículo analiza los factores determinantes de la generación de residuos municipales para el caso de las comarcas de Catalunya durante el periodo 2002-2018. La identificación de estos factores es esencial para diseñar correctamente las tasas y precios públicos aplicados al servicio de recogida de basuras. La estimación del modelo de panel de datos muestra que la generación de residuos per cápita no depende de patrones de comportamiento de la población como el porcentaje de reciclaje o el consumo de agua y puede explicarse, principalmente, con la evolución económica y otras características demográficas como la densidad de población.
