Renewable Resource Dynamics, Rural-Urban Migration and International Trade |
| Abstract |
We investigate how renewable resource dynamics may interact with the rural-urban migration in Harris and Todaro (1970) model. We obtain a broader picture of steady states and transition paths of closed and small open economies with open access resources. First, in an economy highly dependent on renewable resource, trade helps preserve renewable resource stock in the sense that opening up trade will induce a unique stable steady state with positive resource stock. Second, for a stable steady state in autarky equilibrium, a reduction in urban unemployment rate leads to (i) an increase in resource stock when elasticity of substitution is higher than unity and to (ii) a decrease in resource stock when it is lower than unity. Third, for a stable steady state in small open economy equilibrium, a reduction in urban unemployment rate leads to an increase in renewable resource stock. |
