The Columbia Basin Project (CBP) was one of the single largest projects undertaken by the Bureau of Reclamation. The venture, which started in the 1930s in Central Washington, did not entirely turn out as expected. In fact, almost half of the proposed irrigable area, located mainly in the...

An efficient technology transfer from advanced to developing countries is explored by extending dynamic input-output optimization models. We include capital investments for the transferred technologies that affect the structural change and the welfare streams of consumption and the environmental...

The construction of regional input-output tables is often hampered by a scarcity of data. Various methods have been applied to derive such tables from their national counterparts using all available information on the sectoral structure of the regional economy. In this paper a partial survey...

Regional scientists have had a long fascination with spatial economic interdependence, initially stimulated by the development of a suite of models in Isard (1960). In recent years there have been two major developments; first, a movement towards greater integration in model development not only...

Enterprise input-output modeling (EIOM) can be used in a process of decision making for many purposes. In this paper the cost price models are developed to perform cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis in a mass-production with the complex structure of a production process. An illustrative example...

We believe that any adjustment and updating process (AUP) should try to minimize the relative deviation of the new coefficients from the initial ones in a homogeneous way. This homogeneity would mean that the magnitude of this relative deviation is similar among the elements of each row or...

In this paper we investigate the impact on regional labour markets of an increase in primary factor productivity in the Utilities sector. We conjecture that such an increase in productivity is illustrative of the direct effects of national competition policy (NCP). We compute, at the regional...

The main purpose of this paper is to study employment impacts of tradable sectors in Brazil. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to examine these impacts and to obtain important disaggregated results, as we are able to recognize six types of skilled labor by sector. From these...

For-profit popular music concerts, a seldom studied event, may create sizeable economic impacts in a local economy. Using information from a survey of more than 1,000 concert goers to a Grateful Dead performance in Las Vegas and RIMS II multipliers, we estimate income and employment impacts. We...
