IMPLAN's induced effects identified through multiplier decomposition
Employment ; Induced effect ; Input-output model ; Multiplicator ; Regional economy ; United States of America
An analysis of regional multipliers is developed to reveal a structural flaw in how IMPLAN computes induced effects. A multiplier decomposition is developed that separates direct and indirect effects from the induced and further separates
the induced impact into relative wage and regional income retention effects.
Geomorphic effect of surface runoff in the Myjava Hills, Slovakia
Natural conditions and land use make the Myjava Hills particularly liable to geomorphic processes induced by surface runoff. The investigation of geomorphic effects focused on a detailed mapping of the spatial distribution of rills and soil loss
Effects of interpolation errors on the analysis of DEMs
to be a spline interpolation, which is somewhat contradictory to findings in the literature. The A. also investigates the effect of errors in height, which may be attributed to interpolation, on a sample of terrain analysis operations in order to see to what
Budget-constraint, temporal, and question-ordering effects in contingent valuation studies
A split-sample approach is employed to test three potential design options for contingent valuation studies. A survey of unpriced woodland recreation is undertaken to test : the impact of introducing budget-constraint questions; the effect
Grain-size analysis of surface material under wind erosion using the effective surface concept
This paper deals with the temporal variation in the grain size of surface material using an analytical method based on the effective surface concept. This method is applied to data collected in 2 series of wind tunnel experiments. The results
Estimating the likelihood of fallacious ecological inference: linear ecological regression in the presence of context effects
For data on voting patterns in small geographic units such as voting precincts, the AA. show that the presence of a plausible type of race-related contextual effect will lead to a quadratic relationship between minority share of the electorate
and the share of the vote received by the minority candidate. When the electorate is located in racially homogeneous precincts, or when the contextual effects are small, they show that the estimates of the key parameters of interest in voting rights litigation
The effect of hedonic migration decisions and region-specific amenities on industrial location : could Silicon Valley be in South Dakota ?
do not follow workers completely to their most preferred locations but engage in a trade-off between following and compensation. Concentration of firms can be induced by regional amenities, independent of their agglomeration effects.
The AA. hypothesize that environmental degradation had a major effect on grain production in many of China's agricultural areas. A nationwide fixed effect grain-yield function is introduced which incorporates both traditional input variables
Studies investigating the economic effects of residency laws on municipal labour markets have not obtained consistent results. The A. re-examines the effects of residency laws using newer data, relatively large samples and cities with a wide range
Collective facilities ; Himalaya ; India ; Induced effect ; Mountain ; Public service ; Road ; Road network ; UttarPradesh ; Village
The effects of road development were studied in a remote high-altitude Central Himalaya of India. Distribution of schools and postal services was not affected by this new road network, but health-care facilities, drinking water supplies, electricity
This paper investigates the effects of a glaciation of the Tibetan Plateau on present uplift rates and gravity anomalies using different space-time histories of the glaciated area during the last glaciation and the formulation for surface loading
on a spherically symmetric, linear Maxwell-viscoelastic Earth. This method is commonly used to study effects related to the global mass redistributions during the Late Pleistocene glacial cycle.
