The analysis uses survey data collected for Bangkok's old motorcycle retirement program. While the literature studies only "Cash for Clunkers" schemes, this hypothetical experiment allows us to compare owners' preferences for alternative schemes. Policy implications of the proposed schemes can be inferred after examining owners' responses to different financial incentive provided by the government. Our analysis provides criteria that could be used when choosing one scheme over another.ENEconomics of Regulation L510Economic Development: AgricultureNatural ResourcesEnergyEnvironmentOther Primary Products O130Formal and Informal SectorsShadow EconomyInstitutional Arrangements O170Environmental Economics: Government Policy Q580Journal ArticleWorld Bank
