作者在分析1980-2000年欠发达国家工业有机水污染的过程中，跨越社会学的多个领域，检验了来自外国投资依赖理论、生态不平等交换理论和世界社会理论的假设。利用多种来源的面板数据，作者提出了三个假设：（1）工业有机水污染强度与制造业的外商投资正相关;（2）工业有机水污染强度与总体出口强度正相关;（3）工业有机水污染强度与环境国际非政府组织的存在负相关。进一步的分析调查了有机水污染对欠发达国家婴儿死亡率的影响。总体而言，Prais-Winsten回归分析的结果与小组校正的标准误差和广义最小二乘小组回归分析欠发达国家证实了测试的假设，并表明工业有机水污染强度确实有助于婴儿死亡率，净经济发展，生育率，卫生支出和其他相关因素的影响。
Bridging multiple areas of sociology, the author tests hypotheses derived from foreign investment dependence theory, ecologically unequal exchange theory and world society theory in analyses of industrial organic water pollution in less-developed countries, 1980-2000. Using panel data from a variety of sources, the author proposes three hypotheses: (1) industrial organic water pollution intensity is positively associated with foreign investment in manufacturing; (2) industrial organic water pollution intensity is positively associated with overall export intensity; and (3) industrial organic water pollution intensity is negatively associated with the presence of environmental international non-governmental organizations. Further analyses investigate the impact of organic water pollution on infant mortality rates in less-developed countries. In general, findings for Prais-Winsten regression analyses with panel-corrected standard errors and generalized least squares panel regression analyses of less-developed countries confirm the tested hypotheses, and indicate that industrial organic water pollution intensity does indeed contribute to infant mortality, net of the effects of economic development, fertility rates, health expenditures and other relevant factors.
