本文在分析效率工资和城市部门外部规模经济的情况下农村-城市迁移的含义时，重点关注发展中的二元经济的结构转型。比较了外生工资扭曲、外生工资扭曲和外部规模经济下的城市部门集聚效应，以及效率工资和外部规模经济下的城市部门集聚效应。结果表明，在哈里斯-托达罗模型中，由于效率工资下的乡城迁移具有就业促进效应，效率工资下的集聚经济大于最低工资扭曲下的集聚经济。在利用现有的外部规模经济的过程中，这种聚集减少了部门工资差异，改变了要素积累和商品价格变化的影响，其方式不同于具有外生工资扭曲的移徙所产生的影响。
In analyzing the implications of rural-urban migration in the presence of efficiency wages and external economies of scale in the urban sector, this paper focuses on structural transformation of a developing dual economy. It compares the agglomeration effects in the urban sector under exogenous wage distortion with that under exogenous wage distortion and external economies of scale and also with the agglomeration under efficiency wages and external economies of scale. It shows that because of the employment enhancing effect of rural-urban migration with efficiency wages, the agglomeration economies are bigger with efficiency wages than with minimum wage distortion in the Harris-Todaro model. In exploiting the existing external economies of scale, this agglomeration reduces the sectoral wage differential, and changes the effects of factor accumulation and commodity price changes in a way that is different from the effects under migration with exogenous wage distortion.
