Previous research within the theory of ecologically unequal exchange finds that forestry exports from low‐ and middle‐income nations to high‐income nations yield increased forest loss in exporting nations. I expand upon this research by considering how the level of national governance within a nation moderates the impacts of forestry export flows from low‐ and middle‐income nations to high‐income nations on forest loss. To test this claim, I include an interaction term between forestry export flows and three national governance measures (i.e., voice and accountability, political stability, and regulatory quality) using robust regression for a sample of 76 low‐ and middle‐income nations. The findings suggest that forestry exports flows from low‐ and middle‐income nations to high‐income nations increase forest loss more at lower levels of national governance than higher levels of national governance. I also find that forestry rents, environmental nongovernmental organizations, gross domestic product per capita, and economic growth are related to forest loss.

生态不平等的交换与国家治理:森林流失的跨国分析

先前在生态不平等交换理论中的研究发现,从中低收入国家到高收入国家的林业出口会增加出口国的森林损失。我通过考虑一个国家内的国家治理水平如何缓和林业出口从中低收入国家流向高收入国家对森林损失的影响,来扩展这项研究。为了检验这一说法,我在76个中低收入国家的样本中使用稳健回归,包括了林业出口流量与三项国家治理措施(即话语权和问责制,政治稳定性和监管质量)之间的相互作用项。研究结果表明,林业出口从低收入和中等收入国家流向高收入国家,在较低国家治理水平下的森林损失增加的程度要高于较高国家治理水平。我还发现,林业租金,环境非政府组织,人均国内生产总值和经济增长与森林损失有关。
