We first review the literature relating to the protection of the modern sector in developing countries (DCs). We then discuss the connections between protection, economic dualism, and optimal environmental policy in DCs. Next, we construct an intertemporal model of the environmental policy...

We examine two issues pertaining to the conduct of environmental policy in developing countries (DCs). First, when faced with a self-financing constraint, should an environmental authority (EA) raise/lower pollution taxes over time or should it run a deficit/surplus? Second, given recent...
