【摘要】We analyze data on differentiated waste collection (as a proxy of proenvironmentalbehaviors) in Italian provinces in the years 1999–2012. We make use of a Markov Spatial Transition approach to model the dynamic of local transitions among different levels of environmental pro-sociality; and we find that behaviors; and in particular differentiated waste collecting habits; tend to be strongly influenced by proximity effects; so that provinces with good levels of environmental pro-sociality may positively influence nearby ones; and vice versa for provinces with poor levels of environmental pro-sociality.We also show that in the long term separate clusters with markedly different levels of differentiated waste collection rates emerge.
