This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of a contract awarded by the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Environmental Pro tection Agency, a workshop on the methodology of economic impact analy sis was held at Hueston Woods State Park Lodge in Oxford, Ohio, April 13-15, 1977. Leading researchers in regional modeling were gathered to take stock of current developments in the field and to put forth new ideas and directions for research. Also attending the workshops were individuals from various governmental agencies that use regional models and economic impact statements. Preliminary versions of the papers appearing in this vol ume served as focal points for discussions that have hopefully continued, stimulating further thinking of the problems addressed. The objectives of the conference were not only to explore recent develop ments in methodology but also to expose users of economic impact analyses to a wide variety of models and applications and to acquaint academicians with the needs of users. The papers appearing in this volume represent only a portion of the output of this workshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-scale industrial and energy-development projects are profoundly affecting the social and economic climate of rural areas across the nation, creating a need for extensive planning information, both to prepare for the effects of such developments and to meet state and federal environmental impact assessment requirements. This book examines alternative methods of modelling the economic, demographic, public service, fiscal, and social impacts of major development projects. The authors provide a synthesis of the conceptual bases, estimation techniques, data requirements, and types of output available, focusing on models that address multiple impact dimensions and produce information at the county and subcounty levels. They also look at the kind of data each model produces in each impact category.

Download or read book Tourism Economics written by Álvaro Matias and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of local, regional or national impacts of an influx of tourists – of different kind and origin – has in recent years become a new challenge for economics research in the tourism sector. There is a clear need to develop solid methodologies through which the socio-economic impacts of tourism can be assessed. Tourism impact assessment – as a systematic approach to the estimation of socio-economic effects of tourism on relevant parts of the economy – has become a timely response to the need for appropriate information for stakeholders, both public and private. The present volume brings together a set of recent impact studies – of both a theoretical-methodological and an applied policy-oriented nature – , which have been selected on the basis of their originality or novel contribution to the research in this field.

Download or read book An Evaluation of the Utility of Large scale Economic Models for Socio economic Impact Assessment written by Tom Pinfold and published by Gardner Pinfold Consulting Economists Limited. This book was released on 1987 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large scale investment projects, such as the energy developments proposed for Atlantic Canada, the Arctic and Western Canada in the early 1980's, stimulated keen interest in the estimation of their social and economic impacts. The use of large-scale economic models was seen as a possible method of assessing these impacts. This report examines the utility of large-scale economic models for examining the socio-economic impact of private and public sector projects within a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) framework. It begins by examining the nature of the SIA in Canada to identify the types of questions and the variables that are normally of interest, and for which large-scale models should be able to assist in developing answers. A set of study models, chosen for their apparent usefulness for SIA work and public availability, are described in summary fashion to outline their main conceptual features. Each of the study models is examined in terms of a set of technical characteristics to provide an overview of its capability to deal with SIA questions and issues. The strengths and limitations of multipliers and some issues of interpretation for SIA work are discussed. The features of the different classes of models, and the properties of specific models, especially suited to analyze and assess typical SIA economic impact concerns are identified.

Download or read book The Economics of Big Science written by Hans Peter Beck and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this open access volume identify the key ingredients for success in capitalizing on public investments in scientific projects and the development of large-scale research infrastructures. Investment in science – whether in education and training or through public funding for developing new research tools and technologies – is a crucial priority. Authors from big research laboratories/organizations, funding agencies and academia discuss how investing in science can produce societal benefits as well as identifying future challenges for scientists and policy makers. The volume cites different ways to assess the socio-economic impact of Research Infrastructures and their role as hubs of global collaboration, creativity and innovation. It highlights the different benefits stemming from fundamental research at the local, national and global level, while also inviting us to rethink the notion of “benefit” in the 21st century. Public investment is required to maintain the pace of technological and scientific advancements over the next decades. Far from advocating a radical transformation and massive expansion in funding, the authors suggest ways for maintaining a strong foundation of science and research to ensure that we continue to benefit from the outputs. The volume draws inspiration from the first “Economics of Big Science” workshop, held in Brussels in 2019 with the aim of creating a new space for dialogue and interaction between representatives of Big Science organizations, policy makers and academia. It aspires to provide useful reading for policy makers, scientists and students of science, who are increasingly called upon to explain the value of fundamental research and adopt the language and logic of economics when engaging in policy discussions.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the summary of a study entitled Socioeconomic Impact Assessment: Communications Industry . The purpose of the study was to identify and assess the impacts of new communications technology on the aviation industry during the 1990 to 2020 time frame. The study includes four major phases. This volume contains the second third and fourth phase summaries. The second phase includes the development of three future socioeconomic scenarios as well as forecasts of relevant aviation activity under each scenario. The third phase of the effort is the forecast of communications technology. The forecast contains three major elements: 1) a forecast of communications technology without regard for future socioeconomic conditions; 2) a forecast of technology in the context of future socioeconomic scenario options; and 3) aviation communication system concepts for each socioeconomic scenario. The fourth phase of the study is the impact assessment. The impact assessment identifies and, to the extent possible, quantifies the likely consequences on future aviation communications.
