245 _aAppetite for destructions? China, Ecologically unequal exchange, and forest loss*
260 _aRural Sociology
300 _a85(2), Jun, 2020: p.346-375
520 _aWe 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
