2. Rural-urban migration and the re-organization of agriculture

abstract

This paper studies the response of agricultural production to rural labor loss during the process of urbanization. Using household microdata from India and exogenous variation in migration induced by urban income shocks interacted with distance to cities, we document sharp declines in crop production among migrant-sending households residing near cities. Households with migration opportunities do not substitute agricultural labour with capital, nor do they adopt new agricultural machinery. Instead, they divest from agriculture altogether and cultivate less land. We use a two-sector general equilibrium model with crop and land markets to trace the ensuing spatial reorganization of agriculture. Other non-migrant village residents expand farming (land market channel) and farmers in more remote villages with fewer migration opportunities adopt yield-enhancing technologies and produce more crops (crop market channel). Counterfactual simulations show that over half of the aggregate food production losses driven by urbanization is mitigated by these spillovers. This leads to a spatial reorganization in which food production moves away from urban areas and towards remote areas with low emigration.

3. Credit Markets, Property Rights, and the Commons

abstract

Credit markets and property rights are fundamental for modern economies, but they also have implications for the commons. Using a dynamic model of competitive resource extraction, we show that improving property right security unambiguously increases conservation incentives, but the effect of credit markets on resource extraction effort hinges on the security of property rights. We test these predictions using data on global fisheries, credit markets, and the largest-ever marine property rights assignment. We find that property right security reduces resource extraction, while credit market development increases resource extraction under insecure property rights but reduces resource extraction under secure property rights

7. Nature's Decline and Recovery – Structural Change, Regulatory Costs, and the Onset of Resource Use Regulation

abstract

Many renewable natural resources have been extracted beyond sustainable levels. While some resource stocks have been subsequently recovered, others are still used at levels below their long-run optimum, causing substantial economic losses to resource users. We build a multi-period model of a dual economy with technological progress, structural change and costly resource regulation to understand the process of resource use beyond sustainable levels and recovery.We show that technological progress explains the initial increase in resource use. It also leads to structural change and a reduction in resource users, paving the way for resource regulation and resource recovery. Using data from global fisheries, we determine the onset of effective resource regulation through changes in the harvesting pattern. Based on an instrumental variable approach we show that the onset of regulation coincides with the decline of regulatory costs related to the number of resource users, consistent with our theoretical prediction. Our results suggest that although technological progress can contribute to resource degradation, it may also help resource recovery
