摘要:In this paper, we argue that the Harris-Todaro, (HT) framework sometimes satisfies an envelope property, which makes it work like a full-employment Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson (HOS) model.

We show how several celebrated results in the HT structure can have this reinterpretation. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Under the free migration assumption, we find the intuitive result that migration prospects have a protective effect on ...
