| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is the examine conditions for the compatibility between poverty reduction and environmental protection (sustainability) in a developing economy. We extend a small-open dualistic economy model with urban unemployment, which is standard in development economics, by introducing a resource-good sector based on an open-access renewable resource into the rural sector. We examine the short- and long-run effects of an export tax on the rural resource good on the rural resource stock, urban unemployment rate and welfare. It is shown that the export tax decreases the use of rural resource stock but necessarily increases the urban unemployment rate in the steady state. We derive the first-best policy that makes the two goals compatible.
