Foreign Direct Investment Dependence and the Neglected Greenhouse Gas: A Cross-National Analysis of Nitrous Oxide Emissions in Developing Countries, 1990–2014

“…While there have been some critiques of dependency theory (cf. Firebaugh 1992Firebaugh , 1996, much cross-national research supports dependency theory expectations (e.g., Alderson and Nielsen 1999;Bornschier, Chase-Dunn, and Rubinson 1978;Bradshaw and Huang 1991;Bradshaw et al 1993;Chase-Dunn 1975;Dixon and Boswell 1996;Hall and Bass 2012;Kentor 1998Kentor , 2001Kentor and Boswell 2003;London and Smith 1988;London and Williams 1990;Sanderson and Kentor 2008;Vijaya and Kaltani 2007;Wimberley and Bello 1992).…”

“…FDI Stocks is the total value of capital and reserves provided by foreign enterprises to a host country in all sectors of the economy and is measured as a percentage of GDP (UNCTAD 2019). FDI Stocks is a standard measure of FDI dependency theory (e.g., Brady, Kaya, and Beckfield 2007; Hall and Bass 2012; Long et al 2017).…”

Global inequities in the prevalence of undernourishment

“…While this finding contributes to a long line of cross‐national evidence regarding the beneficial effects of economic development on social welfare in less‐developed countries (e.g., Brady et al. 2007; Clark 2011; Cole 2019; Firebaugh and Beck 1994; Hall and Bass 2012; Shandra et al. 2004, 2005), it is important to note that there are still important scholarly conversations occurring regarding the “growth consensus” in the comparative international social sciences (e.g., Brady et al.…”

“…Economic development is one of the most common statistical controls in the comparative international social sciences and analyses of social welfare in less‐developed countries (e.g., Clark 2011; Clark and Snawder 2020; Hall and Bass 2012; Mejia 2020, 2022b; Shandra et al. 2004, 2005).…”

“…Economic development is one of the most common statistical controls in the comparative international social sciences and analyses of social welfare in less-developed countries (e.g., Clark 2011;Clark and Snawder 2020;Hall and Bass 2012;Mejia 2020Mejia , 2022bShandra et al 2004Shandra et al , 2005. Classical theoretical perspectives such as economic modernization theory (Rostow 1960) posit that economic development should exert significant beneficial effects on social welfare and health outcomes in less-developed countries as economic development is thought to increase wages (e.g., Firebaugh and Beck 1994).…”
