Download or read book Regional Economic Impact Analysis and Project Evaluation written by H. Craig Davis and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a non-technical introduction to the fundamental principles and techniques of regional impact and evaluation analysis. The book is written for readers who have a minimal background in mathematics and economics and so the materials listed in the bibliographies have been chosen for their accessibility to such readers. References to relevant papers of a more technical nature are indicated in notes in each reference.Unlike existing texts, which usually concentrate on regional impact or evaluation analysis, Regional Economic Impact Analysis and Project Evaluation offers an extensive introduction to both these subjects, since both are critical to the study and practice of regional economic analysis.Two case studies, intended as illustrations of practical applications, are included in each of the six chapters that deal with specific principles or techniques. While many of the case studies and much of the literature cited in the bibliographies is Canadian, a substantial portion is from the United States and Great Britain, demonstrating that the principles and techniques discussed in this book are universally applicable.

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: The second edition of the Impact Evaluation in Practice handbook is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to impact evaluation for policy makers and development practitioners. First published in 2011, it has been used widely across the development and academic communities. The book incorporates real-world examples to present practical guidelines for designing and implementing impact evaluations. Readers will gain an understanding of impact evaluations and the best ways to use them to design evidence-based policies and programs. The updated version covers the newest techniques for evaluating programs and includes state-of-the-art implementation advice, as well as an expanded set of examples and case studies that draw on recent development challenges. It also includes new material on research ethics and partnerships to conduct impact evaluation. The handbook is divided into four sections: Part One discusses what to evaluate and why; Part Two presents the main impact evaluation methods; Part Three addresses how to manage impact evaluations; Part Four reviews impact evaluation sampling and data collection. Case studies illustrate different applications of impact evaluations. The book links to complementary instructional material available online, including an applied case as well as questions and answers. The updated second edition will be a valuable resource for the international development community, universities, and policy makers looking to build better evidence around what works in development.
Download or read book Food Systems and Regional Economic Development written by Rebecca B. R. Jablonski and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In search of new opportunities to support U.S. rural economies, many researchers, practitioners, and policymakers promote policies that strengthen re-localized food systems. Since 2009, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has funded more than 2,600 local and regional food systems projects. Yet there have been few data-driven economic impact assessments of these initiatives, in part due to data deficiencies precluding comprehensive analysis. Through a series of three papers, this dissertation contributes to the question: What are the regional economic impacts of policies supporting re-localized food systems? The first paper develops an enhanced understanding of how local food system participants interact with other businesses and industries in a local economy. The primary contribution of this paper is to show that local food system participants in New York State have different expenditure patterns than farmers who do not sell through these markets. Through higher local expenditures (per unit of output), and greater reliance on local labor, it is likely that researchers who utilize aggregate agricultural sector data to determine the economic impact of local food system activity under-estimate overall impact. The second paper develops an empirically-driven methodology to estimate the regional and farm-level economic impacts produced by policies promoting an increasingly popular regional food system initiative: food hubs, i.e., local food aggregation and distribution businesses. This is the first research to empirically derive net and gross regional economic impacts from food hub development, demonstrating that food hubs have higher associated output multipliers than comparable industry sectors, but that growth in final demand for food hub products results in offset purchases from other sectors. The third paper builds upon the second paper by examining the extent to which food hubs actually increase the overall availability of locally-grown food, enhance farm entry into markets, and impact farm viability. This paper offers some of the first empirical evidence that food hubs increase consumer access to locally-grown and processed foods, improve farm access to regional markets, and support farm business expansion.
Download or read book Natural Resources Research Program An Assessment of the National Economic Effects of the U S Army Corps of Engineers Recreation Program written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased consideration of regional economic implications of recreation programs associated with Corps water resource development projects has resulted in the need for improved procedures for measuring these effects. An approach is proposed for developing credible, technically sound economic impact assessments of agency recreation programs. The approach involves four steps: (a) identification of appropriate economic impact indicators; (b) development of representative recreation expenditure final demand vectors; (c) creation of recreation demand models to measure recreation use shifts under different management actions; and (d) use of economic input/output models to transform shifts in recreation use into regional income and employment effects. Implementation of the proposed approach improves the ability of the agency to assess the full range of outputs associated with water resource development projects. This increased capability improves the agency's ability to communicate regional benefits of programs to affected state and local agencies, thus creating opportunities for maintaining and expanding recreation program partnerships to improve service to the visiting public.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of a study undertaken to develop a practical technique for evaluating the 'significance' of predicted socioeconomic impacts. A review of important socioeconomic elements was undertaken, a list of indicator parameters was developed, and a technique for evaluating temporal change for establishing 'significance' of the elements was developed. The result was the rational threshold value (RTV) technique, which can easily be used by DA planners and decision-makers involved in producing Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). Several hypothetical case studies were investigated to ascertain the practicality and usefulness of the technique. Results of these studies indicate that the RTV technique can be used as a screening device to establish the significance of economic and related social impacts resulting from Army military activities.
