Abstract
This study aims to analyze the interaction between the waste discharge/treatment and the economy of Hokkaido in 1985. So as to implement the objective, we construct a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model internalizing waste generation/treatment activities. The model consists of several economic activities including; industries, households, the government, the external sector, industrial waste self-treatment activites, and waste contract/public treatment activity. Industries generate waste in production, while households discharge waste in consumption. These wastes are cleared by waste treatment activities inputting, like industries, production factors. Effects of charging waste, promoting recycling etc. on the economy including income, prices, welfare level are examined by applying the model.
