Abstract:

For recovering the wastes of the general electronic equipment in the universities, this paper designs a new recovery mode based on "principal-agent" theory, in which the users can dispose the wasted electronic equipment by themselves. Firstly, the adaptability of the new mode is analyzed and the applicable scope is determined. Secondly, to measure the moral hazard in the new mode, a questionnaire survey is done to measure the moral level of the users, and a scenario analysis model is designed to assess the moral hazard based on the survey results. Then, through calculation and analyses, it can be concluded that the level of the moral hazard in the new mode is in the control under the optimistic scenario. While, the new model may face a higher moral hazard under the pessimistic scenario, but moral hazard can be controlled if the universities adopt effective monitoring measures.
