A Social Accounting Matrix for the Agricultural Sector of
      Pakistan

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effect of alternative agricultural policies on production, consumption and income distribution within a social accounting, g framework. This is done by applying the social accounting multiplier analysis on the agricultural SAM for Pakistan for the year 1979-80. The paper focuses attention on the agricultural production sector, the related food producing industrial sectors and food consumption sectors, which are represented in the agriculture SAM by disaggregated accounts, while all the other production sectors in the economy have been aggregated into a single account. The paper is organized as follows: The SAM for the agricultural sector of Pakistan is presented in Section 2, followed by a discussion of multiplier decomposition in Section 3. Section 4 presents the results of the multiplier analysis and Section 5 gives a summary of the main results.

One of the fundamental elements of the social accounting method, especially the macroeconomic analysis and planning in the developed market economies, is the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM). The Social Accounting Matrix could be defined as a system of accounts integrated in the form of matrix, consistently including data on production and income generation on one hand, and on the revenues and expenditures of various institutional groups and classes in society on the other. The present study presents a frame work for using a Social Accounting matrix (SAM) technique to analyze the economic impacts of Broken Bow Lake in McCurtain County. The SAM has been used in developing countries to explore the interaction between macro-policy and structure adjustment. Using multiplier analysis, results of the present study can be used to illustrate how this frame work can capture the essential structural features of McCurtain County and sort out the direct and indirect links through which macro-shocks affect the systems (Sherman Robinson).</span></p>

The Impact

The Malaysian economy has undergone sound growth over the past three decades. During the 1990s, the government designed a vision to become a high-income developed nation by 2020. Strengthening aggregate demand within a developing economy such as Malaysia’s is critical for achieving this target. In quantifying the impact of such measures economists have employed the social accounting matrix as an analytical tool. The challenge associated with the construction of a social accounting matrix for Malaysia, especially when up-to-date databases are not readily available, is the main issue addressed by this paper. The constructed matrix can provide an updated country-wide data source for use in policy analysis and as a database for macroeconomic modelling purposes. The applied database investigates the key economic sectors contributing to Malaysia’s economic growth and income distribution between three household types. This paper presents the first attempt in this direction employing recently published input-output tables and complemented with updated data from different sources. Keywords: Social Accounting Matrix, Government expenditure, Income distribution, Multiplier analysis, Malaysia.

For many years agriculture has played an important role in supporting Vietnam’s economy. Despite the remarkable achievements, agricultural production in Vietnam is still self sufficient and the household income is not high as compared to the inherent capacity of the industry. Based on the Vietnam Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) database for 2007, 2012, and 2016, the study has measured the income multipliers for the agricultural sector. The research results show the importance of forestry for household income in the country, as well as the relative impact of fishery, crop production, livestock breeding, and agricultural services on household income in different regions during this period. Therefore, to ensure income growth for all household groups, it is necessary to focus on the development of forestry. If the policy goal is rural modernization or urbanization, the focus should be made on relevant sectors such as fishery, crop production, livestock breeding, and agricultural services.

Key Sectors

Social Accounting Matrices are important databases that provide relevant information about the economic and social structure of an area for a period of time. This information allows researchers to develop an integral analysis of the productive structure of that area. This article presents the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for the Spanish economy for 2007 at basic prices. From SAM for Spain the key sectors of the Spanish economy are identified across three different methodologies: the methodology developed by Rasmussen, the hypothetical extraction method and, finally, using the technique of the Multiplier Product Matrix. The key sectors analysis using these three different methodologies lead to conclusions that, in some cases, are very different. In addition, the results improve when labor income, capital income, private and consumption are included as endogenous accounts in the model.

The Impact

Orientation: There is startlingly little economic research on the South African wildlife sector which contributes toward disputes regarding the economic contribution of the sector.Research purpose: The purpose of this article is to put into context the relative economic contribution of the wildlife ranching sector, as opposed to other land-use options in South Africa.Motivation for the study: Growth in the wildlife ranching sector at the cost of other traditional farming practices resulted in disagreements amongst various role players about the impact thereof on the national economy. The controversy can most probably be explained by different beliefs, coupled with the lack of a proper understanding and quantification of the wildlife ranching sector’s contribution toward the economy.Research methodology: The study employed a Social Accounting Matrix-based Leontief multiplier analysis for South Africa.Main findings: Results from the multiplier analysis revealed that developments within the wildlife ranching sector are likely to make a relatively more superior contribution towards the economy, especially when compared to similar land-use options such as extensive livestock production.Practical/managerial implications: It has been acknowledged by both academia and private sector that a major need exists for more research on the South African wildlife ranching industry, specifically looking at issues such as the industries, economic and social contributions, potentials and constraints. The research, therefore, contributes toward the depth of economic information and research regarding the South African wildlife sector.Contribution/value added: The research provides valuable information in dealing with the ‘popular belief’, especially amongst some of South Africa’s decision makers, namely, that growth in the wildlife ranching sector is not or does not have the ability to contribute significantly toward economic and socioeconomic factors.

The agricultural sector can play an important role in the transformation of the energy economy in Poland. Special attention in this paper has been paid to the development of the agricultural biogas market in Poland. The considerations mainly concern organizational and economic aspects. Agricultural biogas plant represents the circular cycle of matter and energy. It enables the establishment of low-carbon, resource-efficient links between the agriculture and energy sectors. This is an important element of the circular economy, where waste from agricultural production and the agri-food industry, coming from renewable resources, is transformed into goods with a higher added value. The social and economic needs of the present generation and future generations are considered. The paper presented the characteristics of the Polish market, i.e., the number of entities, the number and location of plants, as well as the production volumes. Analyses were performed in the area of raw materials used to produce agricultural biogas. The analyses were carried out between 2011 and 2018. According to analyses, the potential of the agricultural biogas market in Poland is currently being used to a small extent. It is necessary not only to provide institutional support but also to increase the awareness of farmers and managers in agri-food companies of the possibility of using production waste for energy purposes.
