Description
Summary:Using a data sample from all 27 EU Member States from 2009-2020, the present study quantifies the factors that can lead to an increase in the collection rate of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). The results underline the fact that an increase in the quality of road infrastructure and an aggressive online campaign can lead to an obvious increase in the amount of electrical and electronic equipment used. Quantile regression forecasts show that the impact of some variables such as GDP per capita, private consumption, government effectiveness, or research and development expenses has asymmetric effects on the degree of collection but can lead to an improvement of this activity under certain conditions.
