China, Ecologically unequal exchange, and forest loss* Rural Sociology 85(2), Jun, 2020: p.346-375 We test the hypothesis from the theory of ecologically unequal exchange that agricultural exports to China are related to increased forest loss in low‐ and middle‐income nations exporting to it. We do so by analyzing data for 75 low‐ and middle‐income nations using ordinary least squares regression. We find support for our hypothesis that flows of agricultural exports from low‐ and middle‐income nations to China are related to increased forest loss in exporting nations. We also find that a country's total agricultural exports, proximity of forest to infrastructure, and protected areas tend to increase forest loss. - Reproduced Rural Sociology ECOLOGY - CHINA AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 388937 IIPA IIPA 2021-01-02 85(2), Jun, 2020: p.346-375 AR123793 2021-01-02 AR
