ABSTRACT

This paper established ageneral equilibrium model to study the effects of the changes of remittance rate in the migrant workers’ income on environmental pollution. We found that, in the capital specific case, the increase of urban-rural migrants’ remittance rate will increase the total remittance of the migrant workers, increase the demand of agricultural sector for agricultural producer services and decrease the environmental level, but it has no influence on the output level of the urban industrial sector; and in the mobile capital case, the increase of urban-rural migrants’remittance rate will increase the total remittance of the migrant workers, increase the demand of agricultural sector for agricultural producer services, decrease the output level of the urban industrial sector and improve the environmental level.

摘要

本文建立了一个一般均衡模型，研究了农民工收入中汇款率的变化对环境污染的影响。我们发现，在首都具体情况下，城乡农民工汇款率的提高会增加农民工的汇款总额，增加农业部门对农业生产性服务的需求，降低环境水平，但没有对城市工业部门产出水平的影响；而在流动资本情况下，城乡农民工汇款率的提高会增加农民工的汇款总额，增加农业部门对农业生产性服务的需求，降低城镇工业部门的产出水平，提高农民工的收入水平。环保水平。
