Are the Economy and the Environment Decoupling? A Comparative International Study, 1960–20051
Andrew K. Jorgenson,Brett Clark +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cross-national panel analysis of three measures of carbon dioxide emissions was conducted to evaluate the relationship between economic development and time, and the results varied across the three outcomes as well as between developed and less developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consumption and Environmental Degradation: A Cross-National Analysis of the Ecological Footprint
TL;DR: In this article, a recursive indirect effects model was proposed to estimate the direct, indirect, and total effects of world-system position, domestic inequality, urbanization, and literacy rates on a comprehensive indicator of per capita consumption of natural resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unequal Ecological Exchange and Environmental Degradation: A Theoretical Proposition and Cross‐National Study of Deforestation, 1990–2000*
TL;DR: In this paper, a structural theory of unequal ecological exchange was proposed and tested to investigate the possible connections between trade and environmental degradation, and a weighted index of vertical trade was created that quantifies the relative extent to which exports are sent to more-developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Income Inequality and Carbon Emissions in the United States: A State-level Analysis, 1997–2012
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between U.S. state-level CO 2 emissions and two measures of income inequality: the income share of the top 10% and the Gini coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Economy, Military, and Ecologically Unequal Exchange Relationships in Comparative Perspective: A Panel Study of the Ecological Footprints of Nations, 1975—2000
