This study investigated the media exposure and knowledge of the BCG economic development policy model among the Thai people. An online questionnaire was used to collect data from 496 Thai respondents. The frequency distribution, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data. It was found that among thirteen channels, the majority of the respondents were exposed to the BCG model information through websites (47.72%), followed by Facebook (45.23%), and the least, to clubhouse and radio (3.73% for both). As for the frequency of exposure, the majority of the respondents were exposed to media for information about the  BCG policy model from time to time depending on the occasion, followed by 4-5 times a month, and the least exposed at all times. Regarding the quality of information dissemination, data analysis revealed that the respondents indicated the quality at a moderate level in all aspects. Analysis of the responses of eight questions about the BCG model revealed that the majority of the respondents had a low level of knowledge of the BCG policy model, followed by a moderate level, and a high level of only 2.1%.

The Relationship

The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the relationship between the degree of aggregate labour-intensity and the aggregate volume of saving in an economy where a Cobb-6ouglas production function in its traditional form can be assumed to give a good approximation to reality. The relationship in ques¬tion has an obviously important bearing on economic development policy in the area of choice of labour intensity. To the extent that and in the range where an increase in labour intensity would adversely affect the volume of savings, a con¬flict arises between two important social objectives, i.e., higher rate of capital formation on the one hand and greater employment and distributive equity on the other. If relative resource endowments in the economy are such that such a "competitive" range of labour-intensity falls within the nation's attainable range of choice, development planners will have to arrive at a compromise between these two social goals.

Economic Development Strategies

Despite the important role governors have played in shaping states’ economic development strategies, existing quantitative studies of state economic development policymaking have paid only scant attention to the factors that influence governors’ decisions about economic development policy. This study investigates these factors using a unique data set of gubernatorial economic development proposals generated by content analyzing hundreds of major legislative addresses delivered by governors during the 12-year period from 1995 to 2006. The findings reveal that gubernatorial economic development policymaking is only partially an attempt to solve a state’s economic problems. Economic policy making by governors appears to be driven largely by a desire to compete for new business investment during periods of economic expansion.
