Abstract

Environmental degradation caused by pollution generated by industrial production has become one of the world’s most serious problems. One of the reasons why this problem is difficult to solve is that less developed countries lack the ability and financial resources to control pollution. Furthermore, their governments often give priority to economic growth at the expense of the quality of the environment.

Fußnoten
1
Kondoh (1999) and Hiraiwa and Kondoh (2002) studied the effects of immigrants’ remittances on the economic welfare of the host country. However, these studies are two-country two-factor models that do not consider environmental issues.
 
2
In the case where the foreign country specializes in agricultural production, the following relations must be satisfied: \( {p}_A^*\sqrt{E^*}=w^*, {p}_M^*<w^* \). This means that \( {D}_M^*=\frac{a^*w^*}{p_M^*}>a^*L^* \) and per capita demand for the manufactured good is larger than a*.
 
3
The relation \( {D}_M^*=\frac{a^*w^*}{p_M^*}=a^*L^* \) still holds even in the case where the foreign country specializes in the manufactured good. Remittance occurs only via the agricultural good, and the output of the manufactured good in the foreign country needs to be a*L*.
