Rural-To-Urban Migration in Developing Countries
RURAL-TO-URBAN MIGRATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES The Applicability of the Harris Todaro Model with a Special Focus on the Chinese Economy Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades des Doktors der Wirtschaftswissenschaften an der Universit¨at Konstanz Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften vorgelegt von Karin Margarethe Bahns Tag der mundlic¨ hen Prufung:¨ 20. Dezember 2005 Referent: Prof. Dr. Albert G. Schweinberger Referent: Prof. Dr. Heinrich Ursprung In dankbarer Erinnerung an meinen Vater Dr. J¨orn Bahns (1940-1999) Zusammenfassung Die Arbeit untersucht die Anwendbarkeit des Harris Todaro Modells fur¨ Land- Stadt-Migrations-Prozesse in Entwicklungsl¨andern. Dabei geht es nicht nur um das Basismodel, sondern auch um die Modell-Erweiterungen, die internationalen Handel, einen st¨adtischen informellen Sektor und die Aspekte der Agglomeration behandeln. Die Folgerungen aus der Theorie werden sodann mit den empirisch belegten Erfahrungen einiger Entwicklungsl¨ander verglichen. Das Ergebnis be- weist, daß die dem Modell zugrunde liegenden Annahmen die Entwicklungen in vielen weniger entwickelten L¨andern wiederspiegeln. Die Konzentration auf die chinesische Wirtschaft erm¨oglicht eine tiefergehende Analyse der Anwendbarkeit des Harris Todaro Modells. Bereits vorliegende empirische Ergebnisse und die hier durchgefuhrte¨ Regressionsanalyse zeigen, daß das Modell auf China angewen- det werden kann. Es werden daher anschließend die politischen Implikationen er¨ortert. Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, daß das Harris Todaro Modell trotz einiger Unzul¨anglichkeiten in der Lage ist, die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in China zu erkl¨aren und Leitlinien fur¨ die Implementierung politischer Optionen aufzuzeigen. Abstract The thesis studies the applicability of the Harris Todaro model to rural-to-urban migration processes in developing countries. The focus lies not only with the ba- sic model, but also with those extensions modelling international trade, an urban informal sector and agglomeration economics. -

Easterlin, ed. Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-18027-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/east80-1 Publication Date: 1980 Chapter Title: Internal Migration in Developing Countries: A Survey Chapter Author: Michael Todaro Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c9668 Chapter pages in book: (p. 361 - 402) 6 Internal Migration in Developing Countries: A Survey Michael P. Todaro 6.1 Migration and Development: Some Critical Issues As recently as a decade ago, internal migration in general and rural urban migration in particular were viewed favorably in the economic development literature. Rapid internal migration was thought to be a desirable process by which surplus rural labor was withdrawn from traditional agriculture to provide cheap manpower to fuel a growing modern industrial complex (Lewis 1954; Fei and Ranis 1961). The process was deemed socially beneficial (at least on the basis of historical evidence; Kuznets 1964, 1971), since human resources were being shifted from locations where their marginal social products were often assumed to be zero to places where these marginal products were not only positive but also rapidly growing as a result of capital accumulation and technological progress. Herrick (1965) reflected the prevailing view about the desirability of internal migration when he asserted that "in the absence of any move ment, when rural fertility exceeds urban fertility, the agricultural labor force will grow faster than industrial employment. -

Without her, I would be nowhere. I was extremely lucky to be at New York University. Bernard Wasow took me there and literally sheltered my family and me in all possible ways. He also supervised my doctoral dissertation. Without him, I might have spared economics. Readers will notice the influence of my teachers Wassily Leontief, and Israel Kirzner on the form and substance of my work. However, I do not hold them responsible for my turns, twists, and stretches. My teachers (in alphabetic order) William Baumol, Peter Boettke, Boyan Jovanovic, Mario Rizzo, Andrew Schotter, Michael Todaro, Bernard Wasow and Charles Wilson helped me think about economic issues. -

Kelly December, 2013 iv Abstract This dissertation examines the role of two of the most influential private U.S. foundations operating in Latin America during the post- World War II years, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation. The activities of these two foundations in Latin America are situated within a much broader global reform agenda promoted by the United States government that sought to modernize underdeveloped countries and integrate these economies into a global capitalist economic system led by the United States. Latin America would be the first regional testing ground for this agenda and, it was hoped, a model for reform in other regions of the world. -
