This study investigates the economic impact of tourism in Buiratau State National Nature Park (SNNP) by analyzing the direct, indirect, and induced effects of tourist spending through the multiplier effect. Using input–output (I-O) models and primary data from park administrators, local businesses, and national statistics, the research quantifies the economic contributions of tourism to the local economy. In 2023, total tourist spending in Buiratau SNNP amounted to 19,856,520 KZT (41,320.4 USD), generating an overall economic impact of 56,337,037 KZT (117,234.5 USD). The calculated tourist expenditure multiplier is 2.84, and the tourist income multiplier is 2.578. These findings demonstrate the amplification of tourist spending within the regional economy, highlighting the roles of direct revenues from tourist services and indirect benefits from related sectors. This study also explores sustainable tourism development, emphasizing investments in infrastructure and collaboration with local stakeholders. Recommendations include enhancing data collection methods, promoting sustainable tourism practices, and engaging local communities in planning processes. This research is particularly relevant for developing regions, including post-Soviet states, where national parks are centrally managed, providing a framework for optimizing tourism's economic contributions while maintaining conservation goals.

Acknowledging the pivotal role of ports and dry ports in shaping a nation’s economic landscape, this study explores the economic impact of port development in East Java, specifically Bangil Dry Port in Pasuruan over at least 30 years of business operational process. This study pioneers the quantification of gross value added, investment multiplier effect, tax contribution, and Creating Shared Value (CSV) resulting from dry port investment. The method used for calculating multiplier investment is Keynesian multiplier approach and for labor absorption is Incremental Labor Output Ratio (ILOR). Field surveys were conducted to determine the condition of Bangil, and secondary data on the growth of container flows at Port of Tanjung Perak was used as a reference for growth in Bangil. Overall, these results show that Bangil Dry Port investment will generates positive impact both for government and society in general, but also the economy of East Java and Pasuruan District in particular. These results offer practical guidance for decision-makers in optimizing public funds allocation, while also laying the groundwork for future scholars to conduct comprehensive societal-scale cost-benefit analyses of strategic port investments, contributing to a deeper understanding of the economic implications.

The multiplier effect of the digital economy exists in production activities, so is the structure of agricultural production, which is closely related to it, affected by the digital economy? Based on the panel data of 30 provinces from 2011 to 2020. The results show that: (1) The development level of China's rural digital economy shows a general upward trend, showing regional differences with high levels in the southeastern coastal regions and low levels in the central and western regions. (2) The rural digital economy significantly contributes to agricultural production structure upgrading (APSU), this positive effect is more obvious in the main grain-producing areas, areas with a high degree of land transfer, and agricultural production agglomeration areas. (3) The rural digital economy achieves APSU by promoting technological innovation, facilitating industrial integration, and stimulating consumption upgrading, while there is a multiplier effect for this impact, that is, the existence of Metcalfe's law in APSU was verified for the first time. The multiplier effect stems not only from the rural digital economy, but also from the synergistic effect formed by technological innovation, industrial integration, and consumption upgrading, jointly playing a role in increasing marginal effects.

This research aims to analyze the trickle-down and multiplier effects of the Al-Jabbar Mosque as a religious tourism site using a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis method using NVivo software. Primary data was collected through interviews with 20 tourists, 10 local MSME actors, 5 MSME employees, also the food court manager, and Al-Jabbar Mosque management. The findings reveal that the presence of Al-Jabbar Mosque generates a trickle-down effect by creating business potential and job opportunities for the local community. Local Community can engage in trade within the food court, also benefit from special programs like rental fee discounts. Additionally, there are employment opportunities at the mosque, such as security. The mosque also opens opportunities for MSME employment and open service, such as photography. Currently, 70% of the 550 mosque employees are local residents. Tourist visits directly impact Rp144.648.000.000 monthly to local MSME income, assuming 344,941 visitors per month with an average expenditure of Rp344,833 on food, photography, and other services. Mathematical analysis shows a multiplier effect value of 1.22, indicating that for every Rp100,000 increase in tourist spending, local MSME income rises by Rp122,000. Practically, the research suggests that Al-Jabbar Mosque management should collaborate with the local community to develop new businesses.

This study aims to empirically analyze the contribution of public basic infrastructure to local entrepreneurship in Cameroon. Applying iterative least squares to a multilevel random coefficients Logit model, we find that public investment in basic infrastructure generates positive multiplier effects on entrepreneurship at the local level. Specifically, investment in basic economic infrastructure leads to multiplier effects on business creation at the local level. Based on these results, local public authorities are encouraged to improve the supply of infrastructure, especially regarding the quality, accessibility and availability of basic economic infrastructure. Our findings further suggest that municipalities that offer a business environment that encourages public investment in infrastructure are more attractive to entrepreneurs and can provide existing or new firms with access to the resources and skills they need to take their business to the next level.

This paper put's forward a working conceptualisation for how the size of firms which die influences firm interrelationships where firm deaths influence future firm births. Two conceptual arguments are developed to explain the role of firm size in influencing future firm births; the resource argument and the consumer demand argument. This relationship is also empirically tested using a multilevel model to examine the relationship between the death of differently-sized firms and future firm births in European NUTS 3 regions. Findings suggest that only the deaths of larger firms appears to increase future firm births. The resource-based argument is used to explain this finding whereas the consumer demand-based argument is used to explain why the death of smaller firms seems to reduce future firm births. The dataset used in this paper's estimation captures a large amount of activity across 14 countries and 502 NUTS 3 regions from 2008 to 2019. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to explore that as per United Nations Sustainable Development goals' (2015) targets, the entire world has to bring down its poverty levels from absolute poverty; i.e. people earning less than 2.15 dollars a day as prescribed in September 2022 by World Bank. This paper explores the economic impact of tourism industry in Pakistan to uplift economy to back step its poverty line, focusing the potential of tourism industry as a driver of economic growth and development. The study examines to check impact of certain variables such as travelers, international tourists and employment generation due to Tourist industry influencing its Economics growth, i.e. Gross Domestic Product, and proposes strategies to upgrade tourism industry to foster economic growth of the economy. To analyze data set Time series data is taken from the year 1995 to 2021 from world Development index and Ordinary least square method is applied using E-Views to check the results. Results depict that these variables have significant impact to upgrade economic growth of the country if we enhance tourism sector in Pakistan. The findings underscore the significance of strategic planning, investment, and E-marketing in harnessing the full potential of tourism in Pakistan. Pakistan have privilege to enjoy four seasons being hub of historical places and legacy of Mughal Empires from high peak mountains of Himalaya to the beauty of Kashmir, Desert of Thar to different valleys such as Hunza, Chitral, Rumbur and Leepa and plains, so visitors do have lots of attractions to come and visit Pakistan, now the need is to incorporate Pakistan's tourism industry with public private partnership to channelize its digital marketing and E bookings as well more financial support is required to maintain its traditional buildings and tourists places.

Pro-environmental behavior does not diffuse sufficiently in society. Is there a way to enhance the degree of people's pro-environmental behavior? This study aims to develop a dynamic model of mutual learning in social networks to simulate the diffusion of pro-environmental behavior and to search for promising policies for promoting it. This study considers two policy measures: enhancing pro-environmental behavior of target people and changing the learning patterns of target people. The people targeted for intervention are determined by random selection, selection in descending order of degree centrality, and selection in descending order of eigenvector centrality. Centralities measure an influence of a node on other nodes through a network, based on the number of direct or indirect links. An interesting finding is that changing individual learning patterns is much more effective for enhancing the degree of pro-environmental behavior in social networks than trying to directly enhance its degree. In addition, selection of target people based on the centralities is more influential in encouraging environmentally friendly behavior than random selection, particularly in the policy of changing learning patterns. Multiplier effects are also measured: the ratio of the net increase in the number of people who enhance their degree of pro-environmental behavior at the end of a certain number of time steps beyond business as usual to the number of people intervened. Multiplier effects are always positive when learning patterns are changed. Six potential approaches to changing learning patterns are discussed: persuasion, reputation, competition, awareness of economic returns, information provisioning, and education.

Effective forest conservation should go hand in hand with collaboration of the surrounding local communities. Bringing advancement and relief to marginalized communities is pivotal for conservation initiatives, with the objective of cultivating a sustainable ecosystem while protecting indigenous biodiversity. The linchpin for developing successful partnerships begins with fostering a shared understanding of the intricate relationship between humanity and the natural environment. This awareness can be nurtured by interactive education and tangible outcomes that illuminate the profound long-term benefits of conscientious environmental stewardship. Therefore, an emphasis on community-driven conservation and environmental education becomes imperative, serving as a conduit for disseminating crucial information, fostering practical knowledge, and nurturing the attitudes and skills essential in the quest for environmental protection and sustainable development. Education, in this context, operates as a reciprocal process, demanding that educators glean insights from the local populace to effectively tailor strategies that elevate and empower them toward sustainable advancement. This dynamic interaction is where capacity development (CD) becomes indispensable. This paper delves into the unfolding of a series of conservation endeavors, initially driven by Anita Studer’s commitment to preserving a fragment of the primary Atlantic Forest in northeastern Brazil. Evolving into a four-decade educational journey, the actions taken showcase enduring ripple effects across 14 states in Brazil, presenting a comprehensive survey of applied techniques in this unique context. The resources required to achieve collective conservation goals witness a continual upswing, a trend expounded in this paper. Hence, we have chronicled the history, methodology, and projects that transpired in response to the ever-evolving community needs. We will also look at the results and discuss the advancement that ensues following the CBD targets and goals presented at the 2022 UN Biodiversity Conference.

In the current conditions of economic instability, the problem of developing the regional space of the Arctic zone, where huge reserves of hydrocarbons and other minerals are concentrated, which are the main driver of the future development of the Arctic economy, is becoming increasingly important. The development of the Arctic region was strongly influenced by the international environment, which, on the one hand, poses a threat to the Arctic mineral projects, and on the other hand, opens up new opportunities for their successful implementation. Against this background, the task of the Arctic coal industry within the framework of spatial and regional development is the territorial and production optimization of production and transportation of coal products. The purpose of the study is to analyze current trends in the development of the coal mining market in the new geo-economic and political conditions, which results in the proposed approaches to the spatial organization of the transport communications system, allowing maximizing the economic and export potential of the prospective development of Arctic coal reserves. It has been established that the current situation greatly affects the energy market. Russian coal market is being transformed under the influence of geo-economic transformations, the formation of new coal mining centers is shifting eastwards closer to the Asia-Pacific region, which will become the main center of coal trade in the near future. The study concludes that the efficiency of the development of Arctic coal reserves directly depends on the spatial organization of a complex system of integrated production and transport corridors (IPTC) that combine the production and logistics chain of mining and transportation of coal products into a single holistically integrated space of sea, coastal and land communications. On the basis of the analysis of the Taimyr coal basin, a priority level for the prospective development of mineral resources has been determined, based on a combination of factors that condition the economic and export potential of coal deposits.

Globalization has accelerated competition and exposed regions, localities, and firms and forced them to adapt to changing economic circumstances and conditions. More recently, researchers have become more interested in food as an essential element of Local Economic Development (LED). Even though LED has previously been focused on increasing production in industries such as mining, agriculture, manufacturing, etc., food tourism has been identified as a niche economic driver. A sample of 149 respondents made up of 82 women and 67 men were randomly selected for the study. Frequency analyses were used to present the sample and dimensions in focus. Significant differences were tested using independent sample t-tests and ANOVA. The results show that eating food is not just what we enjoy but it is a medium of cultural exchange and experience. The use of food tourism LED is based on its role in driving the destinations' competitiveness. For domestic and international tourists, the presence and availability of food fulfill a cultural and emotional gap. Food builds stronger bonds between people and countries and offers an important setting to enhance investment and trade ties. Food has a multiplier effect, which adds value to the local economy by rejuvenating the economic fortunes of the local economy. Food as a tool for economic development presents a fascinating idea about identity, everyday life, and pleasure since it bears a symbolic meaning which determines the destination’s attributes and the overall distinct attractiveness. Therefore, certain spaces and assets for tourism development are required as preconditions for successful tourism-LED development. The paper concludes that food tourism has accelerated the growth of investment in events, conferences, and meetings in Durban. However, more scholarly and rigorous research is needed to untangle questions about local economic development and the consumption of local food.

Lately, the demand for long-term care for the elderly as well as the requirements to its quality have been increasing worldwide. The annual growth in the volume of state investment in the system of long-term care for the elderly generates multiplier effects for the development of certain types of activities in the services sector. The article aims to devise a method for calculating these effects. The methodological basis of the study is the Keynesian multiplier and institutional theory. Statistical and economic methods are applied. The paper performs calculations using the own method based on the Keynesian approach and including a system of linear equations. The data comes from twelve pilot social welfare institutions of the Stavropol krai (Russia). The authors formulate the own definitions to the concepts “multiplier effect in the long-term care system” and “multiplier of the development of the long-term care system (for services)”. According to the results of testing the suggested method, the annual increase in state investment funds allocated for the long-term care system leads to an increase in the expenditures of pilot institutions on various types of services (transport, utilities, education, communications, catering, cultural events, health resort treatment). The findings expand theoretical and practical knowledge about the peculiarities of determining the multiplier effect.

Introduction/Purpose: Agritourism is gaining popularity throughout the United States and is an important part of rural and regional development. However, the economic contributions of agritourism, the interface of agriculture and tourism, has received limited attention in regional impact estimation studies. This study was purposed to estimates the regional economic impact of visitor spending in agritourism farms in Tennessee. Methods: Primary survey data was used from sampled farms in Tennessee and secondary industry-level data. Economic impacts--direct, indirect, and induced-- are estimated based on the economic input-output modeling application (IMPLAN) and the social accounting matrix framework. Result and discussion: We found that an estimated $65million fromvisitors' direct spending in agritourism farms contributes to the total industry output of $118.54 million in Tennessee. Additionally, we presented total value added, jobs created, labor incomes, and taxes generated through direct, indirect, and induced effects attributable to visitors' spending in agritourismfarms. Our findings indicate that the expansion of agritourismcould bring economic development at both the farmand state level, particularly in states like Tennessee, where agriculture is an important industry and tourism is expanding.

A photodetector is a type of optoelectronic device with excellent photoelectric conversion abilities, which has especially important applications in many fields such as optical communication, image sensing, aerospace/environmental detection, and military safety. Among these applications, the multiplier effect of optoelectronic devices has been widely explored because photodetectors can convert a very weak optical signal into electrical signal output and offer amazing electron multiplication abilities. To date, hundreds of multiplier effects of photodetectors have been reported. However, there are few reviews on the multiplier effects of such devices. Here, a review of the multiplier effects of photodetectors covering detection spectra from ultraviolet to infrared is presented, including photodetectors based on inorganic materials, organic materials, and organic/inorganic materials. First, we provide brief insights into the detection mechanisms of multiplier effects of photodetectors and introduce the merits that represent key factors for a reasonable comparison of different photodetectors. Then, the multiplier effect on different types of material photodetectors is reviewed. Notably, we summarize the optimization directions of the performance of the multiplier photodetectors, including improving the external quantum efficiency, reducing the dark current, and increasing the response speed and spectral regulation. Finally, an outlook is delivered, the challenges and future directions are discussed, and general advice for designing and realizing novel high-performance photodetectors with multiplier effects is given to provide a guideline for the future development of this fast-developing field. The bottlenecks of existing multiplier technology are also analyzed, which has strong reference significance for the future development of this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the intricate relationship between local development initiatives and tourism, with a specific focus on their impacts. By utilizing input-output matrices and a survey-based vector of tourist expenditure, we calculate both direct and indirect effects using accounting multipliers. The study assesses the potential return on investment and the generation of future income resulting from a 2.3 million euros investment. Our findings illuminate the predominantly positive impacts of local development initiatives on tourism. We underscore the importance of strategic planning, community engagement, and sustainable practices in optimizing the benefits and addressing potential challenges associated with local development for tourism. While this research primarily emphasizes the positive aspects, it recognizes the need for a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted impacts. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive analysis of the intricate relationship between local development and tourism. The study's practical insights and recommendations are valuable for policymakers, local communities, and tourism stakeholders, guiding them toward adopting sustainable and inclusive development strategies that maximize the positive impacts of tourism.

The crisis phenomena irregularity due to the COVID-19 pandemic requires new, to a certain extent, non-routine tools for their settlement, namely the action effect enhancers of the state and private investors to develop the economy in conditions of shrinking volumes of available financial resources. The paper proposes the Investment Multiplier (IM) as such a tool. The author's model was generated based on a detailed description of developing multiplier processes to analyze its action. The study aims to estimate the IM values of the economies of Kurgan, Sverdlovsk, and Chelyabinsk, the most industrially developed Russian regions, and identify the main points of their economic growth. The key research method was regression analysis. The present study establishes interconnectivity between marginal propensity and savings, marginal propensity and imports, marginal tax rate, and investment accelerator, and their influence on the regional multiplier. From a position of investment multiplier, the authors try to narrow the research gap in how investment policies influence the economic growth of the Russian regions. The study results determine IM values for the analyzed regions, identifying their differences and reasons. The key points of economic growth in these regions were identified. The scientific novelty involves applying changes in regional multiplier processes' dynamics to determine the key development points. The practical significance is that the IM value is an analytical tool that will identify existing key points of regional economic development and, by managing the IM value, create new points for investments with a large-scale multiplier effect, thus developing the regional economy.

With the continuous advancement of the integration of the world’s digital economy, the economic development of various regions has become increasingly interdependent. However, the interregional interactions of digital industries have yet to be further elucidated. Here, based on the Multi-Regional Input-Output model, we take China, for example, and analyze the impact of digital industries on the economy from the industrial and regional. At the industry level, we discuss the economic spillover relationship between the digital industry and the three traditional industries, and analyzes the spatial and temporal differentiation in the inter-industry spillover status of China’s 30 provinces; at the regional level, we discuss the digital industrial economic spillover links and spillover states. The results show that: 1) The self-generating ability within the digital industry sector is the most significant factor influencing the industrial growth of China’s digital economy, followed by the interrelated effect between industry sectors, while the inter-industry feedback effect has a weak impact on the economic system. 2) There is a clear gap in the economic spillover capacity of the digital industry in 30 provinces, and the overall performance is decreasing in the eastern, central and western regions. 3) The intra-regional multiplier effect of digital industry shows a slowly decreasing trend, and the intra-regional digital economic spillover-feedback effect shows a growing trend. At the same time, the inter-regional digital economy interaction tends to decay in distance, indicating that regional accessibility has a significant impact on the inter-regional spillover effect.

The article investigates the impact of force majeure crisis factors that appeared in the Ukrainian economy as a result of the global recession, the events of 2014-2021 (annexation of Crimea, temporary occupation of part of the industrial territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, military operations in Donbas, during the fight against pandemic (COVID-19), war in 2022 on the stable development of regions. Based on the analysis of official indicators of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, it was proved that the said factors create additional multiplier and acceleration effects that adversely affect the dynamics of the gross regional product in the crisis conditions. It has been determined that the result of these effects is the transformation of crisis signals from a proactive to an active phase. The construction of a heat map of GRP correlation indicators made it possible to determine the existence of a disbalance between the economic and social development of the regions. Building a model of linear regression, allowed us to draw conclusions about the existing disbalance of GRP regions during the crisis and war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women entrepreneurs in Pakistan's informal sector based on perceived sales increase/decrease and satisfaction with sales. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had profound economic effects, putting women entrepreneurs at considerable risk of losing income and sales growth as a result. Women reporting sales increases and sales satisfaction tended to be older, have lower education levels, have larger households, be married, own a home, have a supportive family and report an average family financial position. The impact of family support on sales variables depended on the size of the household. The type of business was also affected during the pandemic. This study is unique because it focuses on the impact of the pandemic at the household level where women have taken on increased responsibilities for work and family beyond those in 'normal' times. The household level of analysis is critical for understanding the dynamics of women's informal, home-based businesses in the family context. Findings suggest the resilience, agility and multiplier effects of women entrepreneurs in the face of cultural, economic, social and institutional constraints encountered during the pandemic.

The article discusses the problems of increasing the multiplier effect of the agro-industrial complex of the Komi Republic as a result of investment, as well as ways to accelerate the economic growth of its spheres and individual enterprises. The problems of motivation to increase capital investments in order to increase production and competitiveness of marketable products remain without due attention. The aim of the study is to substantiate the transition of the agro-industrial complex of the Komi Republic to an innovative and investment path of development, to more active methods of using advanced technologies and resource provision of investments, increasing the share of the intellectual component in their composition. The subject of the study is to determine the level of the multiplier effect of the agro-industrial complex of the Komi Republic as a method for assessing its effectiveness and competitiveness. Research methods — quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of total costs, scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, systems approach, historical and logical method, statistical observations. The article reveals the main trends of the multiplier effect in the agro-industrial complex of the Komi Republic. It is proposed to increase the multiplier effect of the agro-industrial complex for business entities to focus on the tasks of coordinating the flows of available investment resources.

The primary source of development of transport and logistics systems is an investment. In countries with developed economies, investment in the development of transport and logistics systems is one of the most effective tools for influencing economic growth, leveling socio-economic disparities in regional development, and stimulating business activity in priority areas. This research is devoted to theoretical and applied organizational bases to substantiate the use of foreign experience of the multiplier effect of investment development of transport and logistics systems and analysis of sound methodological approaches for Ukraine. The article tests the authors' hypothesis about the adequacy of the proposed methodological approaches, which provide for the definition of the multiplier and accelerator of investment in the development of the transport and logistics system. To analyze the impact of investments on the economic development of Ukraine's national and regional systems, the authors proposed the calculation of the coefficient of the investment multiplier (Keynes multiplier). Statistical data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine are used as the basis of the measures. Furthermore, the authors adapted the appropriate calculation method to determine the multiplier of investments in developing regional transport and logistics systems. After all, in economic models, the multiplier is used to determine the amount of investment in year t, which must be attracted to increase production (services) in period t+1, which is k times less than the increase in this production. The calculated indicators of the multiplier of investments in the transport and logistics system showed that in terms of regions, the highest multiplier effect of assets in the development of transportation, warehousing, and communications (more than twice) as of the end of 2020 is observed in Volyn, Zakarpattia, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Poltava, and Chernihiv regions. In 2020, the multiplier effect of more than five times the GRP increase in transport investment compared to 2016 was typical for some oblasts whose transport potential is used most intensively due to the geographical location of major transport routes and key transport hubs in the territory. In particular, these are Lviv (growth more than seven times), Chernihiv (6 times), Kyiv (almost five times), Mykolaiv (4 times), Poltava, and Odesa regions. In general, with various deviations in specific periods during 2016 - 2020, the multiplier effect of investing in the development of transport and logistics on GRP and the level of investment activity of economic entities was observed in all regions of Ukraine. The results of the calculations allow us to assess the extent to which the marginal propensity to save limits the growth of the volume of logistics services. Accordingly, a change in the component of aggregate costs leads to an even more significant difference in the equilibrium volume of logistics services, which reproduces the multiplier effect. It was determined that achieving the effect of an accelerator and multiplier of investments in the transport and logistics sector requires a comprehensive analysis and rational planning of capital investments in the industry and their compliance with the needs and trends of the development of the regional, national and world economy. In this context, an urgent task at the level of territorial management systems is developing a strategy for the development of warehouse logistics as an integrative component of transport and logistics systems, taking into account the proposed methods of evaluating efficiency.

The article examines the long-term multiplier effects of the low-carbon development of foreign markets and the energy industry in Russia. Based on a scenario approach, the sensitivity of the forecast dynamics of the Russian economy to perturbations of key FEC parameters is assessed. Calculations on the interindustry model showed that the slowdown of the global demand for energy resources, together with the reduction of investment in the fuel industries and the accelerated rise in the cost of electricity can hinder the development of the economy. This slowdown is not so critical, because it is partly compensated by increased capital investment in the electric power industry and an increase in the energy efficiency of production in the country under conditions of low-carbon development.

As an industrially developed economy with a large export share, Germany is inconceivable without reliable and comprehensively developed maritime and inland shipping. Shipbuilding, waterway infrastructure, ports and logistics, marine technology, research and development, energy production and consumption, high-tech services form the framework of the «maritime economy» are interconnected and ensure uninterrupted transportation of goods, goods and people. The paper analyzes the national economic significance of the maritime industry in the modern German economy. It is emphasized that in addition to performing the transport function itself, this industry provides the launch of important multiplier effects on the economy as a whole. All those issues are considered with the challenges of climate policy. In this regard, we consider that the innovative role of German shipbuilding will increase, despite the decline in economic activity during the pandemic. We hypothesise that industry is facing an uncertain future, simultaneously, it should be emphasized that after the pandemic, the federal government is sending a clear signal to the industry community – the shipbuilding industry and the merchant marine are the drivers of the industry and part of environmental change, where a lot depends on new investments in training, expanding digitalization, application new types of fuels. This may be the result of more flexibility when placing orders for various types of vessels, reducing bureaucracy in the implementation of infrastructure water projects.

This study aims to measure and analyze the application of the halal concept in tourism attractions of the Tsunami Aceh Museum and the PLTD Floating Ship (Kapal Apung PLTD) sites in the Banda City, Indonesia. It also attempts to assess the contributions of halal tourism to the economy, measured by income multiplier effects. Of 1,243 halal tourism visitors, entrepreneurs surrounding the halal objects, and employees in the halal tourism sites, 93 of them were selected as the sample of the study using the proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Observation, interviews, and questionnaires were used to gather the primary data. Majority of the respondents perceived that the tourist attractions of the Tsunami Aceh Museum and the PLTD Floating Ship had implemented the halal tourism concept. The study also found that those halal tourism objects have contributed to the enhancement of the community's economic development, indicated by the Keynesian Local Income Multiplier and Ratio Income Multiplier of greater than one. To further enhance the community income surrounding the halal tourism objects, the halal tourism facilities should be well-equipped and ensured a conducive surrounding environment. ======================================================================================================== Bagaimana Kontribusi Pariwisata Halal terhadap Perekonomian Masyarakat?

Alms Food is a food procurement program that collects donations from any philanthrope and spends them on farmers, ranchers and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Fresh, healthy, and environmentally friendly food are food ingredients that are produced directly by the local producers without using hazardous chemicals in the production process. The multiplier effect refers to the many benefits of action for the parties involved. The sustainable socio-economic-environmental sector is a space for community relational dynamics to produce and live together that considers present and future aspects. Furthermore, this is one of the strategies to create markets for local products so that they have targetted consumers so that production can continue, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. This community engagement comprises three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation of the results. This activity had been held for 11 weeks in the target recipient locations in several sub-districts, Padang City, West Sumatra Province. This program's concept of the multiplier effect must attract and encourage other sectors to get involved, either directly or indirectly, including food producers, cooperatives, philanthropists, academics, and beneficiary community groups. It hopes that program should be continued another further weeks.

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, countries applied trade restrictions to insulate their domestic markets from the world market. However, these trade policies could have amplified international market price fluctuations. This paper explores the effects of trade restrictions on international agricultural price volatility. A theoretical model is developed to quantify how trade policies amplify the initial shock. Using panel data covering 71 countries from January 2020 to July 2021, we examine empirically the effects of trade policies on world agricultural price volatility. The results show that trade distortions further induced volatility of world agricultural prices by around 22 percent during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The multiplier effects are much more substantial in agricultural exporting countries than in importing countries. Large countries like China and the US could make significant contributions to stabilizing world prices by limiting the extent of unilateral trade policy interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The literature of industrial management has been focusing, although with different intensity, on the question of optimal company size since the 1960s. Whithin this framework the focus shifted since the 1980s form the examinations of, the effects of business outsourcing to increase efficiency to the organizational and economic connections of network cooperation, since the 1990s. Network cooperation analysis is especially relevant in the case of social enterprises, which are usually smaller than the sectoral average and are characterized with lower capitalization and higher risk than the average. This paper reviews the literature and methods, trying to find the answers to the following four questions:  What justifies network cooperation?  Which factors enhance and which factors discourage the start up of social entrepreneurial networks?  What kind of network types can be developed?  How can the effect of network cooperation be measured?

From 2014 to 2016, water agencies in Southern California provided more than $350 million in rebates to owners who converted their turf to drought‐tolerant landscaping. In order to provide a fuller understanding of the water savings of this program, this study establishes that there was a behavioral contagion, or a multiplier effect, from rebate participants in the program. An imagery‐based, time‐series analysis of 20 Southern California neighborhoods from 2012 to 2018 was performed to detect what parcels converted their lawns without a rebate and how they were spatially correlated with rebate participants. This correlation was then used on almost 55,000 rebate participants to estimate the multiplier benefits for the entire program at 132%. For every 100 rebate participants, the multiplier effect helped contribute to an additional 132 parcels to convert to drought‐tolerant landscaping. This methodology was compared with a previous study in the Irvine Ranch Water District providing similar results. This study provides the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California a better understanding of the water savings per rebate dollar of the Turf Removal Rebate Program as well as providing a robust approach for cities or water agencies to estimate the multiplier effect of their turf rebate programs. Research Impact Statement: Study establishes a multiplier effect for Southern California's Turf Removal Rebate Program improving the understanding of the overall water savings of such programs.
