Abstract
Two major trends in the world economy are international migration and environmental degradation. The object of the paper is to analyze the connection between these two trends, which have generally been analyzed in isolation. Here we represent a world economy in which the exploitation of natural resources as well as the migration of labor have a global character. We discuss the welfare impact of migration and exploitation of natural resources. and policies to address these issues.
We are indebted to the Fondazione Mattei for financial support and to R. Faini, G. Heal, M. Kurz, and A. Montesano for comments and suggestions.
