| Research Abstract |
By the use of the Harris-Todaro model with environment factors, we investigated how economic activities with environmental pollution affect the natural environment and unemployment. As a first stage, we considered a simple framework where only one productive factor, namely labor, exists. Based on this basic analysis, we introduced capital as another factor and analyzed the roles of the improvement of pollution abatement technologies, the intensification of the minimum wage legislation and the introduction of tariff policies in urban unemployment and the quality of natural environment. In addition, in order to consider strategic policies for the protection of natural environment, we investigated the strategic transfer of pollution abatement technologies and the negotiation on the pollution abatement among nations.
