Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Over the past decade, there has been a growth in international organizations concerned with environmental matters. These organizations include international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), and treaties. This article presents cross-national models examining the effects of these variables on deforestation. In doing so, I use data for up to 73 nations to examine the determinants of deforestation from 1990 to 2000. I fi nd substantial support for world polity hypotheses that all these organizations reduce deforestation. I also fi nd support for world system arguments that economic dependency relationships based upon commodity concentration increase deforestation. Finally, I fi nd that economic growth decreases deforestation and population growth increases deforestation. I conclude with some brief policy recommendations and directions for future research.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
