本文探讨了哈里斯-托达罗经济中福利改善型环境政策改革的充分条件。城市制造业污染税税率的提高对制造业非最优就业和城市失业这两个劳动力市场扭曲具有溢出效应。如果两者都被削弱，福利就会改善。否则，我们需要建立一个替代的充分条件。结果表明，存在一个改善福利的污染税率范围，它对应于税率的较低值。这一范围可能会缩小的工资补贴政策和技术变革，向污染密集度较低的技术。版权所有Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2003。
This paper explores sufficient conditions for the welfare-improving environmental policy reform in the Harris-Todaro economy. A rise in the pollution tax rate in the urban manufacturing has spillover effects on the two labor market distortions: the less-than-optimal manufacturing employment and the urban unemployment. If both are weakened the welfare improves. Otherwise, we need to develop an alternative sufficient condition. It is shown that there exists a range of welfare-improving pollution tax rates, and that it corresponds to the lower values of tax rate. This range may shrink by the wage subsidy policy and the technological change toward less pollution-intensive techniques. Copyright Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2003.
