Abstract
As a common social management problem in urban development, urban garbage classification often presents a “tragedy of the commons” situation because of its strong external resistance. The methods used include the comparative study of different management organization types, based on the hierarchical organization minimum authorized theory and repeated games theory. Results show urban garbage classification is extremely complex, which inevitably lead to ineffective, if took simple hierarchical organizational model. Faced with the failure of hierarchical organizations, there are two solutions: we’d better rely on market forces with reducing supervision costs at the external constraints level, and network organization based on repeated games may be a good choice at the internal mechanism level.
