摘要: 本文探讨了决策者食物利用能力的不确定性如何引起食物浪费,并比较了食物浪费税和私人信息干预这两个政策工具对食物浪费量和社会福利的影响。研究结果表明,消费者食物最优保有量决策一旦偏离其食物利用能力,就会引发食物浪费。虽然两个政策工具都可以有效地降低食物浪费,但是食物浪费税对社会福利的影响方向不确定,而私人信息干预却可以通过激发学习机制增强决策者对自身食物利用能力的认知,并降低不确定性,从而提高整体社会福利。

Abstract: This paper discusses how a decision makers uncertainties about food utilization causes food waste,and compares the impacts of food waste tax and private information intervention on food waste and social welfareThe results show that,food waste occurs when the amount of food utilization deviates from food inventoryAlthough the two policy tools can effectively reduce food waste,the impact direction of food waste tax on social welfare is uncertain,while private information intervention can enhance the cognition of decision makers on their own food utilization ability through stimulating learning mechanism and reduce uncertainty,thus improving the overall social welfare

Key words: food waste, uncertainty, food utilization, information intervention
