We explore the links between migration of labour and location specific (urban) pollution, suggesting a sense in which … pollution can be welfare improving. In a conventional Harris-Todaro model of urban-rural migration, individuals migrate so as to … endogenously determined. Interpreting unemployment as damage, urban pollution (damage denoted in units of labour) can also support …

We estimate the impact of fiscal decentralization on different indicators of pollution for more than 80 countries from … 1970 to 2000. Our cross country estimates show that fiscal decentralization increases pollution. However, higher quality of …

This paper studies Krugman's (1991) core-periphery model and extends it to include environmental pollution. We present … local environmental pollution, a third and more realistic type of equilibrium may occur in which most of the manufacturing …

We … consider the development of the sources ofpollution in a pooled cross-section analysis considering the pollution in absolute … emissions tends to decelerate, but accelerates again at high levels of GDP per capita.Water pollution decreases with per capita …

equilibrium framework. We investigate the impact of pollution by focusing on the interaction between location advantages and … negative pollution externalities associated with local production. We distinguish between two goods (food and manufactures) and … activity tends to become less attractive with pollution, and thus less likely. Moreover, we provide a simple necessary and …

This paper examines the link between pollution and income. It shows how income inequality affects environmental … policies and therefore pollution. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis proposes that there is an inverted U …

This paper analyzes stochastic productive pollution within a model of endogenous growth. The extent to which the agents … perceive their individual influence on aggregate pollution is parameterized. Recursive preferences allow for the separation … stochastic pollution tax, which is uncorrelated with the technological uncertainty of pollution, is compared with a pure …
