Migrant remittance, agricultural producer services, and environmental pollution

Green technological progress, agricultural modernization, and wage inequality: Lessons from China

“…Li and Fu (2022) incorporated agricultural producer service sector into a three‐sector general equilibrium model to study the effects of the changes of remittance rate in the migrant workers' income on environmental pollution. Under the settings of Li and Fu (2022), all remittances are used to purchase agricultural producer services products that complement labor in agricultural production. Thus, when purchasing more agricultural producer service, agricultural sector will enlarge its employment.…”

Factor Market Distortions, Agricultural Producer Service and Agricultural Productivity

“…This paper focuses on the theoretical approach and establishes a general equilibrium model to conduct the analysis. The angle that is most closely related to this paper is Li and Fu [17] and Wang and Li [16]. Li and Fu [17] incorporated agricultural producer service sector into a threesector general equilibrium model to study the effects of the changes of remittance rate in the migrant workers' income on environmental pollution.…”

“…To reflect the economic real data, the paper assumes service could substitute unskilled labor and purchasing services from agriculture will contribute to rural labor migration. Therefore, this study differentiates from Li and Fu [17] by providing a new perspective to incorporate agricultural producer service sector into the general equilibrium model. Wang and Li [16] incorporated agricultural producer service sector and investigate the impact of mitigation of capital market distortion on wage inequality between skilled and unskilled labor.…”
