Abstract Increasingly, studies are examining whether the incidence of natural disasters influences household migration. This paper examines whether the severity of natural disasters is important for migration decisions in Vietnam, rather than just examining their occurrence. Data for a sample of 1,003 farm households from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey are examined for the period 2006–2008. A residual generated regressor approach is adopted to isolate the direct impact of disasters on migration from the indirect impact they have on migration through reducing agricultural output and income. Findings suggest that more severe disasters are directly associated with a greater probability of migration. Furthermore, such outcomes are the same for poor households vis-à-vis their non-poor counterparts.

The reasons for impact pressure are obtained by the research the hydraulic system of Hydraulic Rolling-Cut Shear. The impact pressure of hydraulic system is divided into direct impact and indirect impact. Based on analyzing the actual situation the measures should be taken to reduce the impact pressure when design hydraulic system. The suitable length of pipeline can improve the performance of the hydraulic system because the length is important for the impact pressure. The accumulator can absorb impact pressure and improve the work situation of servo valve. Therefore, the suitable accumulators should be set in the hydraulic system. The study provides theory basis for the pipe design of large hydraulic servo system.

Although deliberative reforms have been proposed to strengthen democracy, little is known about their impact on politics, public policies, and society. This article develops a framework to systematically assess this impact, differentiating between direct and indirect forms of impact. We apply this framework to two cases of deliberative citizens’ summits in the Netherlands. Our analysis reveals that these summits have a limited direct impact on local politics and policy making, but a relatively strong indirect impact on the local community. The article also discusses some conditions that mediate the impact of the forum.

Positive Effect

Using data from the 2018 Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey, our study investigates the impact of education on household income in rural Vietnam. Both mean and quantile regression analyses were employed to analyze the impact of education. We found that education has a positive effect on the household income after controlling for various factors in the models. However, quantile regression analysis reveals that the effect of schooling years increases with quantiles, suggesting that education bring higher returns for richer households. We also found that households with the heads having higher qualifications or vocational education tend to earn higher income levels. Combined together, these findings imply that while education was found to increase household income, it increases income inequality in rural Vietnam. Our research findings suggest that improving the access of poor households to better education is expected to increase their income and reduce inequality in rural Vietnam.

The purpose of this study was to examine the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic on consumer trust and consumer commitment towards public health care in Yogyakarta during the pandemic. The research method in this study was the survey method with path analysis tools. Based on the research result it can be concluded that the direct impact of the Covid pandemic (X) on trust (Y1) is 0.205 (unstandardized) and 0.187 (standardized), the direct impact of trust (Y1) on the Y2 commitment is 0.602 (unstandardized) and 0.63 (standardized). Based on the t-test on the Sobel formula, the t value (3.251) > t table (1.663), means that there is an indirect impact between variable X (pandemic) on Y2 (commitment) through Y1 (trust). The impact of the Covid pandemic indirectly affects consumer commitment through the variable of trust with a combined direct and indirect impact of 1,099.

This paper provides a detailed survey of the literature on the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on poverty reduction, outlining the theoretical and empirical relationship between these variables. Although a number of studies have been done on the impact of FDI on poverty reduction, the majority of these studies have focused on the indirect impact of FDI on poverty reduction. The bulk of the literature reviewed supports the positive effects of foreign direct investment on poverty reduction, although a few studies have also found foreign direct investment to have an adverse or insignificant effect on poverty reduction. This study differs fundamentally from previous studies in that it focuses on the direct impact of FDI on poverty reduction, giving a detailed review of the nature of this relationship.

Abstract This paper investigates the links between some oriental cosmologies and modern architecture, stemming from major non-Western religions, such as Buddhism, Islam and Judaism as well as from Einstein’s theories. It analyses both the direct impact of these concepts, influencing modernism at a theoretical level, and their indirect impact through historic non-Western architecture, mainly Buddhist and Islamic. While modernist theoreticians and architects frequently emphasised functional and technical priorities of modernism, I argue that modernism was far less rational than it is commonly thought, and that it was substantially influenced by non-Western thought, particularly in its early period. This paper considers two main innovations of modernism resulting from oriental concepts of void: (1) the flat and undecorated façade, the avoidance of traditional ‘façade-discourse’, (2) the promotion of space as the main objective of architecture. The impact of Buddhist, Islamic, Judaic and the Einstenian cosmologies on modernism are considered

This study analyzes the direct impact of fiscal decentralization on economic growth and broadens the scope of assessment by examining the indirect impact of fiscal decentralization on economic growth via its impact on macroeconomic performance and quality of governance institutions. The study uses a panel data set of 53 developed and developing countries over the period of 1996–2014. The empirical findings show that the indirect impact, rather than the direct impact of fiscal decentralization on growth, that is, the effect of decentralization on economic growth through its effect on macroeconomic performance and quality of governance institutions significantly matters for growth. Further, the results show that fiscal decentralization is growth enhancing when supported by stable macroeconomic performance in terms of stability in prices, budget deficit and exchange rate. The effect of fiscal decentralization on per capita gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate is positive when it is complemented by sound institutional structure in terms of rule of law, low corruption in government institutions, high-bureaucratic quality and democratic accountability. All these conclusions hold for developed as well as for developing countries.

The Impact

Using the Indian Human Development Surveys of 2004–2005 and 2011–2012, this article examines the impact of livelihood diversification of farm households in non-farm enterprises (NFEs) on their poverty status, escaping from poverty and falling into poverty. The estimates reveal that livelihood diversification into NFEs prevent farm households from falling into poverty and helps them escape it. The result also indicates that NN (who did not diversify in 2004–2005 and 2011–2012), NY (who diversified in 2011–2012 but not in 2004–2005), and YN (who diversified in 2004–2005 but not in 2011–2012) had 4.1 per cent, 16.6 per cent and 24.5 per cent, respectively, lower odds of escaping poverty compared to those farm households that diversified their livelihood into NFEs in 2004–2005 as well as in 2011–2012. However, the results of whether previously non-poor households fell in poverty or not show that livelihood diversification status of NN and YN had 28 per cent and 44.7 per cent higher chances of falling into poverty than those farm households who diversified their livelihood in 2004–2005 as well as in 2011–2012. The results of control factors like religion, caste, education of household head, land holding, livestock ownership, quintiles of income and consumption represent consistent coefficients, which reveals robustness concerning the impact of control factors on outcome variables.

The study aims to examine the impact of supply chain linkages on the performance of businesses. Quantitative research is used by implementing the analysis of the SEM linear structure model. A survey is conducted consisting of 598 samples - experienced managers who had the knowledge of the management of supply chain activities in enterprises in Vietnam. Research results show that supply chain linkages, although not having a direct impact, has an indirect impact on the business performance of enterprises through the intermediary factors of trust and business strategy and the opportunistic behaviors of the participating members. Also, research has demonstrated that opportunistic behaviors have negative effects on trust among members of the supply chain.
