Abstract

The arising literature on Ecological Unequal Exchange (EUE) incorporates multipleelements of post-Keynesian strands, in particular the structuralist analysis of global economicrelations and the center-periphery divide. Nevertheless, there is still little discussion in the literature on the synergies and interconnections of the productive and ecological aspectsof the peripheral condition. This work intends to enter this debate by proposing a multi-regionalinput-output (MRIO) analysis of the recent pattern of economic relations betweenBrazil and China, focusing on the evolution and linkages between the productive and theecological aspects. The results show a rising unequal exchange of biophysical resources thatflows from Brazil to China which is tied to key sectors of the recent Chinese catching-up process.In conclusion, it is argued that productive and ecological hierarchies entail two sides ofthe same coin of the peripheral condition. JEL Classification: C67; O53; O54; Q56.
