Tied to their unsustainable consumption levels, this misappropriation by higher‐income countries leads to the suppression of resource consumption in lower‐income countries, well below globally sustainable thresholds, which negatively impacts the well‐being of domestic populations. To evaluate key aspects of the theory, I test the hypothesis that lower‐income countries with elevated levels of exports sent to higher‐income countries exhibit lower consumption‐based environmental demand, measured as per‐capita ecological footprints. Findings for generalized least squares panel regression analyses of 66 lower‐income countries from 1975 to 2000 confirm the hypothesis, providing support for the theory. Additional results indicate that the strength of the hypothesized relationship increased in magnitude during the 25‐year period. These findings hold, net of the effects of economic development, ecological conditions, and other structural factors. }, number={1}, journal={SOCIOLOGICAL FORUM}, author={Jorgenson, Andrew K.}, year={2009}, month={Mar}, pages={22–46} } @article{jorgenson_2009, title={The transnational organization of production, the scale of degradation, and ecoefficiency: A study of carbon dioxide emissions in less-developed countries}, volume={16}, number={1}, journal={Human Ecology Review}, author={Jorgenson, A.

Considering all less‐developed countries for which data are available, using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression we generate quantitative, cross‐national models for rates of deforestation in the last decade of the twentieth century. The opposite effects of rural and urban population dynamics are of particular concern. While both influence deforestation rates, the effects of rural population change tend to be more profound and more robust. We discuss these findings in light of theoretical work about circular migration and rural encroachment. In addition, we examine the impact of economic development on deforestation while controlling for political and social welfare variables. Findings suggest a trend toward rapidly increasing rates of deforestation in the least‐developed countries. We conclude with a discussion of how rural–urban population dynamics, in combination with other aspects of national development, affect the natural environment, particularly in light of an increasingly interconnected world economy.}, number={3}, journal={SOCIOLOGICAL INQUIRY}, author={Jorgenson, Andrew K. and Burns, Thomas J.}, year={2007}, month={Aug}, pages={460–482} } @article{jorgenson_dick_mahutga_2007, title={Foreign investment dependence and the environment: An ecostructural approach}, volume={54}, number={3}, journal={Social Problems (Society for the Study of Social Problems)}, author={Jorgenson, A.
