| Summary, etc | This study examines the linkages between environmental degradation (viewed primarily<br/>as deforestation and land degradation) and the movement of population from one region to another<br/>within a developing country. The hypothesis postulated is that the link between population and<br/>environmental degradation is mediated by the nature of property rights in land. This hypothesis is<br/>examined with the help of two alternative methodologies. Firstly, a simultaneous equations model<br/>using data for the arid and semi-arid region of Western India illustrates that outmigration from the<br/>region is largely the consequence of push factors such as environmental degradation and decrease<br/>in common land. Alternatively, micro experiments in environmental protection and the creation of<br/>common property rights on open access land in the same region indicate that the association between<br/>migrational change, creation of common property rights and participation indices is high. It can<br/>be concluded that once property rights are well defined with the help of appropriate institutional<br/>arrangements, labour moves towards the creation of common assets and an improvement in the<br/>environment takes place. Out migration is prevented and higher levels of population are supported<br/>by the same resources. |
