This article estimates the effects on recycling behavior of state recycling laws and deposit laws based on changes in household recycling before and after interstate moves. Estimates from a national panel dataset of 1,498 households who moved between states provide a quasi-experimental test otherwise not possible given long-term stability of such laws in any state. Compared to national average recycling rates, moves to states with deposits for beverage containers increased the number of material types recycled by 41%. More stringent recycling laws are also effective, but they have a smaller impact. Recycling laws boosted the number of materials recycled by 9%, with the largest effect being the 17% increase in the recycling rate for glass. Moves from states with deposit laws to states without such laws decreased the number of materials recycled by 13%. Shifts out of states with stringent laws only had statistically significant effects for plastic, which exhibited a 12% decrease after such a move.

关于州回收和存款法影响的准实验证据：州际移动后的家庭回收

本文根据州际移动前后家庭回收的变化，估计了州回收法和存款法对回收行为的影响。来自 1,498 个在各州之间移动的家庭的国家面板数据集的估计提供了一个准实验测试，否则不可能考虑到任何州的此类法律的长期稳定性。与全国平均回收率相比，转移到有饮料容器押金的州，可回收的材料类型数量增加了 41%。更严格的回收法也有效，但影响较小。回收法将回收材料的数量提高了 9%，其中最大的影响是玻璃的回收率提高了 17%。从有存款法的州转移到没有此类法律的州，回收材料的数量减少了 13%。转移出具有严格法律的州仅对塑料产生了统计上的显着影响，此举后塑料减少了 12%。
