“…Many scholars find that the hidden economy is harmful for the environmental quality. Chaudhuri and Mukhopadhyay [21] probed into the effectiveness of environmental regulations on hidden economic sectors. The results suggest that when environmental regulations are stricter, formal production activities are more likely conducted in a hidden way.…”

Previous studies show that the environmental quality is significantly influenced by corruption and the hidden economy separately. However, what is the impact of their interaction effect on environmental quality? Based on Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model, this study calculates the scale of hidden economy in Chinese provinces firstly. Then, we apply the method of spatial econometrics to analyze the interaction effect of corruption and the hidden economy on environmental pollution with China’s provincial panel data from 1998 to 2017. The results indicate that the interaction effect between corruption and hidden economy significantly increases pollutant discharge, suggesting that both anti-corruption and control of the hidden economy may improve environmental quality directly and indirectly.

“…Surprisingly, there is still a lack of theoretical and empirical research on the shadow economy-environment nexus. A few theoretical studies (Baksi and Bose, 2010;Chaudhuri and Mukhopadhyay, 2006) analyze the effectiveness of environmental regulation on informal sectors. One of the key insights is that higher regulatory pressures may induce firms to shift more activities to the shadow economy.…”

“…For instance, Dean and Gangopadhyay (1997) used a three-sector model to analyze how limiting the export of intermediate goods would affect environmental pollution, rural-urban migration and urban unemployment. Chaudhuri and Mukhopadhyay (2006) investigated the efficiency of imposing a pollution emission tax on the formal manufacturing sector in a three-sector general equilibrium model that included pollution effects that arose from the informal sector. Previous empirical research, such as Papola (1981) and Romatet (1983), suggested that the urban informal sector produced intermediate goods for the formal manufacturing sector and the informal sector was, in fact, the main source of environmental pollution.…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o In this paper, we investigate the environmental effect of migrant remittance. The rural-urban migration is an important component of migration. Although migrants work and live in the city, the altruistic remittance affects the production scale of urban sector and then exerts impact on the environment. This paper establishes a two-sector general equilibrium model and adopts a comparative static approach to investigate the short-term and long-term impacts of increase in remittance of migrants on the environment. We mainly reach the following conclusions: the increase of migrant remittance can improve the environment in the short term but worsen the environment in the long run.
