Tourism is one of the new style industries, which is able to provide rapid economic growth in terms of employment opportunities, income, standard of living and in activating other production sectors in tourist-receiving countries. While business is an activity to make a profit. In running a business, sometimes there are disputes between business actors and other business actors. Sometimes disputes that occur are due to a party defaulting and the other party feels disadvantaged. Broadly speaking, in Indonesia there are two pathways to resolve disputes namely litigation and non-litigation. The Litigation Path is a settlement effort made in the Court, while the non-litigation path is the settlement effort that is carried out outside the court. This study uses a type of library research, then this study uses a normative qualitative approach. The results of this study conclude that business disputes can occur at any time without exception when the outbreak of Covid 19. For example, the tourism business sector whose turnover has now declined dramatically because there are government regulations that require at home and not traveling. The decline in the turnover of the tourism business sector has made companies negligent, such as not paying full salaries to employees and being late in paying taxes. Such events can lead to disputes between companies and individuals. One of the efforts taken in resolving this dispute was mediation, while the mediation used was electronic mediation considering that the Covid 19 pandemic is not yet over.

As the country's rapid economic growth, the contradiction between people and the environment are more and more prominent, and the way which can make economic growth at the cost of the environment is not scientific. This article introduces that there is much industrial surplus heat in the dynamic wind pump house of QRRS (Qiqihar Railway Rolling Stock Co., Ltd) which is directly discharged without any treating, which produces unnecessary energy wasting and economic losses. But now there is the solution—making use of surplus heat generated from air compressor cooling water in dynamic wind pump house to heat bathing water (the water from molding line, furnace transformer and tap-water) with water source heat pump, which can achieve the goal of Energy Conservation & Emission Reduction.

Transmission Mechanisms

Purpose Most studies on electricity-economic growth nexus in the literature are preoccupied with causality, with little attention paid to the transmission mechanisms. The orientation of most of these studies is obviously predicated on their assumption that electricity enters the production function in a Hicks-neutral fashion. Based on the assumption that productivity of capital is affected by electricity supply, this study estimates a production function in which electricity enters the model in capital-augmenting style. The study aims to examine the transmission channels in the electricity-economic growth nexus. Design/methodology/approach Using monthly data on Nigeria from 1980 to 2013, the study uses the three-stage least square regression technique, which not only controls for possible endogeneity in the model but also allows for tracing the transmission linkages to estimate the relationship between electricity and economic growth in Nigeria. Findings This study establishes that electricity positively affected economic growth in Nigeria however through its positive effects on industrial output. The direct effect of electricity on economic growth was insignificant. This study thus concluded that the transmission mechanism in electricity-economic growth nexus is the electricity-induced industrial growth. Practical implications Nigeria should increase her electricity supply (for increased electricity consumption) because this would significantly stimulate her industrialization and economic growth. Originality/value This study differs from earlier studies in that it did not primarily focus on causality; it examined the transmission channels in the electricity-economic growth nexus. Moreover, it differs from them on the implicit assumptions made by earlier studies that electricity enters the production function in a Hicks-neutral fashion. It rather estimated a model in which electricity enters the production function in capital-augmenting fashion because the study assumed that productivity of capital is affected by electricity supply.

The study hypothesizes that female farmer participation in the local knowledge training provides corn farmers an advantage over non-participants. We planned on determining the amount of influence market participation had on female corn farmers along with entrepreneurial propensity among them and whether there was any change in income or standard of living among them. 600 female corn farmers were sampled in Bangladesh through a multi-stage sampling technique. Mean, standard deviation, and independent-sample t-test were used for data analysis. The findings showed that female participation in training classes gave them an advantage, entrepreneurial propensity (p<0.01), and improved standard of living/income enhancement (p<0.01). There is a continual need to strengthen female farmer participation through improved training for better outcome and economic growth.

Development is carried out to improve people's welfare, so that economic growth and an even distribution of income are needed. Rapid economic growth that is not balanced with equal distribution, will lead to regional imbalances. The objectives of this study are to; (1) to analyze the factors causing inequality on economic growth in all provinces in Indonesia; (2) to analyze the largest contributor to development inequality between provinces in Indonesia, (3) to form a model of development inequality and economic growth for each province and Indonesia (4) to generat ideas or ideas for solutions to control development inequality and economic growth in Indonesia. The variables studied are the wiliamson index, human development index, unemployment and the General Allocation Fund for each province in Indonesia in 2010-2017. The data observed are primary data and secondary data from various related agencies, such as Bank Indonesia, Statistics Indonesia, Ministry of National Development Planning of the Republic of Indonesia and Ministry of Finance Indonesia. Before being analyzed, the data will pass through the next classical assumption test stage with the Panel Data Model. The results showed that the unemployment rate had a negative and significant effect, while General Allocation Fund and HDI had a positive and significant effect on the level of inequality in Indonesia.

Development challenges in the fastest growing Asian countriesOver the period from 2001 to 2017, 14 countries in Asia recoded an average annual GDP growth rate of more than 6%. The fastest growing Asian countries experienced rapid economic growth as a result of implementing various development strategies. Besides, to a different extent, they used their economic success to improve the standard of living of their citizens. After 17 years of fast economic growth they still face many development challenges. Among them, the most important are: elimination of extreme poverty among employees, reduction of income inequality in society, improving the standard of living and quality of life of citizens especially in rural areas, ensuring a better access to high quality maternal and child health services, and increasing access to social services for the whole society.

The Relationship

The relationship and causality direction between electricity consumption and economic growth is an important issue in the fields of energy economics and policies towards energy use. Extensive literatures has discussed the issue, but the array of findings provides anything but consensus on either the existence of relations or direction of causality between the variables. This study extends research in this area by studying the long-run and causal relations between economic growth, electricity consumption, labour and capital based on the neo-classical one sector aggregate production technology mode using data of electricity consumption and real GDP for ASEAN from the year 1983 to 2012. The analysis is conducted using advanced panel estimation approaches and found no causality in the short run while in the long-run, the results indicate that there are bidirectional relationship among variables. This study provides supplementary evidences of relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth in ASEAN.

During the 2000s Chile achieved rapid economic growth and improved most labour market indicators: the unemployment rate fell; the mix of employment by occupational position and sector improved; the educational level of the employed population, the percentage of registered workers, and labour earnings increased; and all poverty and inequality indicators decreased. The economy suffered a recession during the international crisis of 2008, but recovered quickly. The chapter shows that some labour market indicators were negatively affected by the crisis. The unemployment rate was the only indicator that did not return to its pre-crisis level by the end of the period studied.
