This paper is directed to the problem of evaluating the development role of freight transportation in a dynamic multiregional input—output model. Under realistic structures of the technological, trade, and capital matrices, conditions for the existence of a balanced growth solution are given. Optimal investment policies in transportation network are also discussed. The corresponding problem of adding a minimum (weighted) set of transportation links to the graph associated with the model, so as to satisfy feasible connectivity conditions, is then formulated in mathematical programming terms. Upper and lower bounds on the number of links to be added are also set.

Economic Considerations

Economic considerations all but dominate recent historical writing in this country about the railroads of Mexico. Technical matters of construction and operation, as well as the role of the state in both, are touched upon, but economic interpretation, whether of the development of a railway system or of its impact on the nation, is the watchword if not catchword of most writing. Probably the leading example of the dominant approach is Growth against Development: The Economic Impact of Railroads in Porfirian Mexico (Northern Illinois University Press, 1981), by John H. Coatsworth, in which the author concludes that, while “the short run contribution of railroads to economic growth was large,” their longrun impact helped “to create the underdeveloped country Mexico has become.” Applying economic theory and measuring, Coatsworth in essence proves with numbers a case argued more elegantly in straight prose early in this century: that the application of a modern transportation network to a staple producing economy will do little more than extend and intensify the production system so as to increase the staple output.

Kabupaten Natuna sebagai daerah pulau-pulau kecil memiliki sumber daya alam yang besar khususnya perikanan. Sektor perikanan diharapkan dapat menjadi motor penggerak bagi pengembangan wilayah Kabupaten Natuna. Salah satu alternatif menggerakkan dan memacu pembangunan wilayah adalah menentukan pusat pertumbuhan ekonomi dan meningkatkan keterkaitan antar sektor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat perkembangan wilayah berdasarkan kelengkapan infrastruktur wilayah, menganalisis keterkaitan ke belakang dan ke depan (backward and forward linkages) sektor perikanan dan menganalisis seberapa besar peranan sektor perikanan terhadap perekonomian Kabupaten Natuna. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah Skalogram dan Input-Output (I-O). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kecamatan yang berpotensi sebagai pusat pertumbuhan ekonomi adalah Kecamatan Bunguran Timur dan Pulau Tiga. Sektor industri pengolahan, penyediaan akomodasi dan makan minum, transportasi dan pergudangan, jasa keuangan dan asuransi, dan real estate dan jasa perusahaan termasuk ke dalam sektor unggulan karena memiliki daya penyebaran ke belakang dan daya kepekaan terhadap permintaan akhir sektor-sektor perekonomian. Sementara sektor perikanan belum menjadi sektor unggulan yang dapat menjadi penggerak secara langsung perekonomian di Kabupaten Natuna. Upaya untuk mendorong keterkaitan antar sektor perikanan dengan sektor perekonomian wilayah dengan pengembangan industri hilir yang memanfaatkan output kegiatan perikanan sebagai bahan baku produksinya baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung dan difokuskan pada lokasi yang berpotensi sebagai pusat pertumbuhan Tittle: Role of Fisheries Sector to Economy of the Natuna RegencyNatuna Regency is a potential area with great amount of fisheries resources. Its fisheries resources are expected to encourage the development within the regency. The establisment of economic growth center and increased linkages among sectors were suggested to accelerate the regional development. This study aims to analyze the level of regional development based on the completeness of regional infrastructure, to analyze the backward and forward linkages of the fisheries sector and to measure the role of fisheries in economy of Natuna Regency. Scalogram and Input-Output were used for data analysis. The results suggested two districts as a center of economic growth, they are Bunguran Timur District and Pulau Tiga. Instead of fisheries sector,  the manufacturing, accommodation, food and beverage, transportation, warehousing, financial and insurance services, real estate and company services were the leading sectors due to their backward deployment and sensitivity to the final demands of the economic sectors. Efforts to encourage linkages between fisheries and other regional economic sector are necessary through the development of downstream industries. It includes the directly and indirectly use of fisheries outputs as raw material for production in the focus area of centers of growth

The Pakistani economy currently stands at a crossroads; while it has stabilized over the last few years, the focus has turned towards restarting economic growth. This is a challenging task because of structural problems faced by the economy as well as the global economic slowdown. While the economy has avoided a major downturn since the IMF’s package in 2013, economic growth has been sporadic due to a variety of causes, including fiscal deficit, and financial vulnerabilities.

Abstract This article presents a model of inventive activity and capital accumulation. It also suggests ways of estimating optimal investment in research and development and outlines in the same time some econometric problems associated to measurement. In such a model, it has been shown that increases in technical knowledge are fundamentally related to the amount of resources devoted to inventive activity. Thus the role of invention in economic growth is explicitly recognized

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the changes to the essential economic structure of the Brazilian economy from 2005 to 2014. It uses the method of qualitative input-output analysis and its extensions, applied by Aroche-Reyes (1996) and Gosh and Roy (1998), to verify the pattern of structural change, the number of dynamic sectors, and to examine whether there has been change in the role of sectors in this period. The results indicate a change in the structure of the economy, leading to a decrease in intersector and intrasector economic linkages. In this context, the construction sector remains central, presenting a substantial number of important coefficients. However, the total number of important coefficients diminished in the whole period, indicating a deteriorated economic structure. This fact points to a restriction in the nation’s sustainable economic growth.

The Impact

East Java marine resources play important role as development assets and have  enormous opportunities for generating economic growth. The main potential includes  11 subsectors reinforced by the role of this province as a center of logistics and  connectivity of the Eastern Indonesia Region (KIT). Realizing such potential, both  central and local governments intensively attract investors to invest funds into the  maritime sector in East Java. The study also attempts to deliberate the impact of  investment in the maritime sector on the East Java economy in particular and  Indonesia in general. The impact includes economic growth, society’s welfare, and  employment. This study uses Input-Output Table of East Java Province 2008 published  by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The data is quantitatively employed to find  the linkage and impact multiplier of the investment. The results of this study indicate  that the investment in the maritime sector induces economic growth of East Java by  11%, which also rises people income and employment rate. With the contribution of  East Java to the national economy, which is about 15%, the investment will also  contribute to boost the national economy.

Economic Context

Abstract. What narrative is deemed most compelling to justify anti-immigrant sentiments when a country’s economy is not a cause for concern? We predicted that flourishing economies constrain the viability of realistic threat arguments. We found support for this prediction in an experiment in which participants were asked to take on the role of speechwriter for a leader with an anti-immigrant message (N = 75). As predicted, a greater percentage of realistic threat arguments and fewer symbolic threat arguments were generated in a condition in which the economy was expected to decline than when it was expected to grow or a baseline condition. Perhaps more interesting, in the economic growth condition, the percentage realistic entitlements and symbolic threat arguments generated were higher than when the economy was declining. We conclude that threat narratives to provide a legitimizing discourse for anti-immigrant sentiments are tailored to the economic context.
