“…First, as stressed in footnote 2, we would add to our Gaussian plume the effect of advection due to, for instance, wind or water stream. Second, the introduction of human capital would allow us to study migration flows induced by climate change (see, for instance, Marchiori and Schumacher, 2011).…”

We build a model to study optimal land use, encompassing land use activities, pollution and climate change. This benchmark set-up allows us to identify the spatial drivers behind the interaction between land use and the environment.Pollution generates local and global damages since it flows across locations following a Gaussian Plume. In contrast to the previous literature on spatial dynamics, we prove that the social optimum problem is well-posed, i.e., the solution exists and is unique. We close the paper with a numerical analysis which illustrates the richness of our model, and its global dynamics. We study the different drivers of spatial heterogeneity. In particular, abatement technology stands out as a fundamental ingredient to achieve steady state solutions, which are compatible with the emergence of spatial patterns.

“…Existing literature has addressed environmental drivers of human migration both from a theoretical perspective (McLeman, 2013b;Marchiori and Schumacher, 2011;Kniveton et al, 2012) and, mostly, using statistical and econometric models (see Piguet, 2010, for a review). This work emphasizes the complexity underlying the relationships between environmental factors and migration, highlighting that environmental and non-environmental drivers are highly interdependent (Perch-Nielsen et al, 2008;Warner et al, 2010;Bie Lilleor and Van den Broeck, 2011).…”

Even small changes in temperature can dictate whether a region 4 For a North-South overlapping generations model that does not take the link between rural-urban migration into account but studies inequality and policy solutions we refer the reader to Marchiori and Schumacher [55]. 5 In several countries up to 90% of the population works in the agricultural sector, see [33].…”
