• Taking the "U" out of Kuznets: a comprehensive analysis of the EKC and environmental degradation. (2009, background): “…water pollution (Torras and Boyce, 1998; Paudel et al., 2005), deforestation (i.e. Culas, 2007; Rodriguez-Meza et al., 2003; Heerink et al., 2001; Barbier, 2001), hazardous waste and toxins (i.e. Gawande et al., 2001; Rupasingha et al., 2004), carbon dioxide (CO2) (Azomahou et al., 2006) among…”
• Governance, economic policy, and the environmental Kuznets curve for natural tropical forests (2004, background): “3 Details on these issues are found in Barbier (1997) and Barbier (2001). insecure ownership, political insecurity, and political revolutions were all positively related to the deforestation process.”
• Relationship between openness to trade and deforestation: : Empirical evidence from the Brazilian Amazon (2016, background): “Since the 1980s, it has been internationally recognized that tropical forests, which are home to much of the world's biodiversity, are also very important to global climate regulation (Barbier, 2001).”
• Interaction effects between economic development and forest cover determine deforestation rates (2006, background): “…2001), governmental and financial institutions (Bhattarai and Hammig, 2001, Klooster, 2003; Meyer et al., 2003), economic freedom and stability (Barbier, 2001; Meyer et al., 2003), the spatial distribution of employment opportunities (Helmuth, 1999), the processes of globalisation (Rudel,…”
• Does intensification slow crop land expansion or encourage deforestation (2014, background): “Barbier (2001), for example, in an analysis of tropical countries for the period 1961–1994, found that agricultural land expansion was significantly and negatively related to cereal yields.”
• Theorizing Land Cover and Land Use Change: The Peasant Economy of Amazonian Deforestation (2007, methodology): “Data were obtained for jurisdictional units using government censuses on forest expanse and socioeconomic indicators ( Allen and Barnes 1985 ; Rudel 1989 ; Barbier 2001 ).”
• Is the Environmental Kuznets Curve for deforestation a threatened theory? A meta-analysis of the literature (2013, background): “Theoretical models explaining agricultural land expansion may also be compatible with an EKC for deforestation (Barbier, 2001).”
