摘要
The aim of this study is to contribute to the empirical literature on the antecedents of deforestation. Specifically, we investigate the relationship between female parliamentarism and forest cover change. Based on annual data from more than 176 countries between 1990 and 2015, the estimates suggest that the proportion of women in parliament has a significant U-shaped association with per capita forest cover. In particular, the nation-states with a critical mass of female legislators above 38 % should experience increases in per capita forest cover.
