Abstract

In this article, we link ideas from Evans concerning embedded autonomy to forest loss. In doing so, we hypothesize that higher levels of meritocratic hiring, firing, and promotion decisions in a government’s bureaucracy should correspond to less forest loss in low- and middle-income nations. We test this hypothesis by analyzing data from 78 low- and middle-income nations with ordinary least squares regression and two-stage instrumental variable regression models. We find support for the hypothesis across a variety of model specifications, which include other factors that have been linked to forest loss. We conclude by discussing the theoretical, methodological, and policy implications of the study.

将官僚结构与森林损失联系起来
在本文中,我们将埃文斯关于嵌入式自治的思想与森林损失联系起来。在这样做的过程中,我们假设政府官僚机构中更高水平的精英招聘,解雇和晋升决策应该对应于中低收入国家更少的森林损失。我们通过分析来自78个低收入和中等收入国家的数据,使用普通最小二乘回归和两阶段工具变量回归模型来检验这一假设。我们在各种模型规格中发现了对这一假设的支持,其中包括与森林损失有关的其他因素。最后,我们讨论了该研究的理论、方法和政策含义。
