“…Wang (2019) introduced manufacturing and agricultural pollution into a general equilibrium model and analyzed the impacts of environmental protection policies and a rise in the self‐mitigation cost of skilled and unskilled labor on wage inequality. Li et al (2020) exclusively considered agricultural pollution that harms labor productivity and investigated the effects of the changes of consumers' unit private mitigation expenditure on the unemployment rate and the urban–rural wage inequality. For empirical analysis, Qin et al (2021) investigated income distribution effects of environmental regulation (binding emissions target) in China.…”

“…Furthermore, we add the urban unemployment rate to the main model. Although the literature recognizes that an increase in unemployment pushes a large group of urban residents into the lower end of income distribution [32,33], it is unclear how it affects the urban-rural income ratio. Inbound international tourism earnings are included in many of the works cited above because it is likely to be jointly determined with domestic tourism earnings.…”

Most studies examining the relationship between domestic tourism and urban-rural income inequality have found a positive correlation. However, the causal link between them is difficult to establish due to many potential sources of endogeneity. By including World Heritage Site (henceforth WHS) designation in the set of instruments, this paper estimates the causal effects of domestic tourism on urban-rural income inequality within 31 China’s provinces from 1998 to 2018. Our results show that developing domestic tourism can reduce urban-rural income inequality by raising income of rural residents more than twice as much as that of urban residents. Specifically, a 10% increase in domestic tourism earnings could increase the average disposable income of urban residents by 0.35% and that of rural residents by 0.94%, resulting in a 0.59% reduction in the urban-rural income ratio. According to channels analysis, domestic tourism enhances the disposable income of rural residents mainly through raising household operating income from agriculture, manufacturing, and services.

“…Karp and Paul [21] also investigated the cross-sectoral pollution externalities between industrial industry and agricultural activities in the context of external economies where manufacturing good was assumed to be produced by generating deteriorating side efect on agricultural outputs (see also [22] for water pollution in the similar context). Li et al [23] presented a research paper by constructing a general equilibrium model to analyze the importance of agricultural pollution on agricultural production, the development of the rural economy, and wage inequality. Depending on their numerical stimulation, the production process of resource-intensive goods could cause agricultural pollution because of excessive usage of chemical pesticides and fertilizer that damage natural resources (see also [24] for a detailed discussion about industrial pollution and its impacts on economic development).…”

This paper provides the formal proofs of propositions concerning the stability analysis of steady-state equilibrium in autarky with open-access renewable resources. We assume three different resource environments in which excessive harvesting, pollution, and simultaneous coexistence of these interacting pressures on resource stocks are considered. The propositions mentioned on J.A. Brander and M.S. Taylor, Open access renewable resources: trade and trade policy in a two-country model, Journal of International Economics, 44 (2), 181–209, 1998; B.R. Copeland and M.S. Taylor, Trade, spatial separation, and the environment, Journal of International Economics, 47 (1), 137–168, 1999; and H. A. Rus, Renewable resources, pollution and trade, Review of International Economics, 24 (2), 364–391, 2016 have been shown only on the diagrams and also implicitly explained. This paper aims to contribute the renewable open-access resources literature by providing formal solutions of stable equilibrium analysis in a closed economy within the long run.
