Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association

The Potential Economic Impacts of the Proposed Development Corridor in Egypt: An Interregional CGE Approach
No full textEgypt has proposed a new development corridor. A main component is a desert-based expansion of the current highway network. This network is founded on a 1200-kilometer north-south route that starts at a proposed new port near El-Alemein and runs parallel to the Nile Valley to the border of Sudan. It also includes 21 east-west branches that connect the main axis to densely populated cities on the Nile. The paper is a first attempt at an economic assessment of the impact of this proposed corridor. It uses an interregional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model developed and reported in a prior paper. Here, that model is integrated with a more detailed geo-coded transportation network model to help quantify the spatial effects of transportation cost change due specifically to changes in accessibility induced by the corridor. The paper focuses on the likely structural economic impacts that such a large investment in transportation could enable through a series of simulations related to the operational phase of the project."TD NEREUS 06-2015" published by Núcleo de Economia Regional e Urbana da USP (NEREUS)
The Potential Impacts on New Jersey of an Extension to Secaucus of MTA’s #7 Line
No full textRutgers University’s Economic Advisory Service (R/ECON™) examined the potential impacts on the New Jersey’s economy of the extension of the #7 Line. A main objective of the study is t identify both the total economic impacts on New Jersey of the construction activity during the physical extension of the #7 line to Secaucus Junction. The second main objective is to estimate the effect of the extension on the land prices due to the intensified use of and facilitated access to Secaucus Junction and related NJ Transit service."July 2015
Forecast of July 2015—New Jersey: prospects for the long term
No full textThe July 2015 R/ECON forecast shows more rapid growth for the state in 2015 than in 2014. Nonagricultural employment rose by 0.7 percent—or 27,700 jobs in 2014—after growth of 1.2 percent or 45,100 jobs in 2013. Growth will improve to 1.1 percent in 2015 and 2016 and then average 0.8 percent over the rest of the forecast period, which goes through 2045. At these rates the job base will return to the peak level reached in the first quarter of 2008 in mid-2017. By the end of the forecast period in 2045 the employment base will be nearly a million jobs, and 23 percent, greater than its level at the peak.1 These projections assume no specific recession/recovery cycle disrupts the state’s or nation’s growth. Although this seems rather far-fetched given that the average business cycle (peak to peak) in the U.S. since World War II has lasted about 24 quarters and the current cycle is now in its seventh year, a caveat to keep in mind is that this is a long term TREND forecast; it does not purport to indicate at what point(s) CYCLES may occur.Rutgers Economic Advisory Service (R/ECON) quarterly repor

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
In a democratic society such as ours it is the privilege of every
boy and girl to obtain twelve years of education at Public Expense.
It is the responsibility of every boy and girl in a society such
as ours to take advantage of these educational opportunities which are
available to them.
It Is well to remember that when privileges are abused it is
possible for the privilege itself to be lost.
It is my hope that each and everyone of you are using to the best
advantage,the privilege which has been accorded to you,by the citizens
of our community, In this school of ours.
I wish you every success in your academic endeavors, and it is my
prayer that you find it possible to follow the vocation or profession
which you have chosen, so that the contributions you make to society
throughout your life, will repay in part, the sacrifices which others
have made for you.

VAIEDICTORY
by MUTSUKO FURUSE
WE, the Class of '53, are about to consummate
twelve years of school association.
Here, in the sanctuary of High School, we were
taught; now we must teach ourselves, tony of us came
to Coaldale High from other schools, other provinces
and even other countries. Among us are students of
different races and of many nationalities. Nevertheless,
here, we are gathered as one class, pursuing a
common goal-to seek truth,to glean knowledge, and to
develop an understanding of life.As our forebearers
have done and as our successors shall have to do, we
too, must carry high the banners of our school. It
will now be our privilege and duty to help make our
nation a better place in which to live.
(
Writing up the minutes,
our Secretary of 1956,
1957& '58 is very neat.
Ih an oratofcical contest in
1956 she could not be beat.
8ur school years can be divided into three books.
Book One consisting of the elementary grades, Book
Two--Junior High, and Book Three--High School. Each
of these books contain chapters. It was throughout
these chapters that we learned and put into action
the spirit of good sportsmanship. It was also here
that we learned to respect the rights, not only of
the individual, but of the community and of the
country.
1 believe that if we want to know where our
happiness or where our usefulness lies, we will have
to analyze frankly our own weaknesses. We may make
mistakes,but if we are willing to learn and to profit
by these mistakes and to ever press forward towards
a worthy goal, then our dreams may become a reality
and life a useful thing. It is tnen we can offer our
gift to society; it may be as a teacher, a minister,
a journalist, a doctor, or an engineer.
It is a great privilege to be one of the graduates
to pass through these halls of learning. I
hope that we may be worthy of the faith and the
trust placed in us by our parents and our teachers.
c
In the words of Shakespeare, "Parting Is such
sweet sorrow". And so, we bid farewell to Coaldale
High School.

STUDENTS® UNION REPORT
by Edward Richai'ds
1957-58 has been. & busy school year for the StudentsQ Uniong the executive and the various committees whelk enable the Students’ Union to function smoothlyo
One of the first major changes made was the decision to print a yearbook again thia year instead of ©very fourth year as in the paste Pages will be added to this yearbook again next- year the emphasis being on the graduating class each year*
The Students’ Union has been rather active pertaining to sports this year* We purchased new basketball uniforms for both the girls’ and boys’ senior teamsc A challenge trophy was also purchased for the second event of the High School Ben- spielo
As ammoadrasat to the Constitution was made by the student bodyj, stating that ia case a vacancy arose in one of the offices of the executives before January 31st e an election ofuld be held to fill the vacancy,, and after January 31sts it would be left to the discretion of the executive either to appoint aomesody or to call an election,.
Rings were ordered for those desiring them, however crests were not ordered this year since they were last yearo Function cards were ones again discussed at soma length6 and a plan was drawn up of a proposed card* However9 in view of a number of disadvantagesp function cards were not adopted*
On a recommendation made lest year8 this year’s Prom Queen was chosen by student
vote rather than by judging. This system proved highly satisfactory o
In March a letter was received from the Chamber of Commerce requesting representation from the Students Union at their meetings concerning the need for a Civic Centre for Coaldale*
And that is a brief summary of what the Students’ Union did in 1957-58*
YEARBOOK REPORT
by Rudy Kaethler
In auruznn at a general assembly the Students’ Union instigated a yearbook in order to have a continuous presentation of students and their activities* To achieve this purpose a fundamental or basic book was to be published this year, thus allowing pages to b® added in succeeding terms* The Intercollegiate Press Inc* Representative s Mr* "Gy" Brown„ gave us this idea with a correspondingly low-priced contracto
In the first few meetings,, after the staff was set ups we planned the general composition of Milestones* Sine® we wore able to obtain individual pictures of all the students quit© early„ we had only to worry about group and candid pictures* However,, the problem solved itself when Carl offered to take group pictures and a camera contest was planned to get candids* Carl Nlshimuras Gary Hadford and Ray Shims took the prizes in that order* A sales competition between the room salesman was won by Leonard Vaselenak of the Twelve A room* In dedicating MILESTONES to Mr* Ro Jo Baldry„ we attempted to further your community awareness at the sametime showing our appreciation to
Mr, Baldry for the many years of
servlcs to Coaldale»
The years will tell the
failure , or success of our
attempt5 ...however» a show ofap--.
predation is due to the group
of workers who fashioned MILS-STONES,,
Mr Baldwin, Carl Ni-shimuras
George Horner and Varner
Paetkau helped carry the
brunt of the load, Judy Jacobsen
did a fine job ,of campaigning
for- subscribers and Jacob
Loewen, as Advertising Managerc.

ANNUAL REPORT ON THE ’BW
George Horner Mutsuko Kuruse
In carrying on a tradition
of many years6 the Students’ Union
this term again undertook to
sponsor our High School Newspaper;,
the BUGLET This undertaking
has again proven to he a
success8 as facts seem to indicate
,
It can be safely said that
the BUGLE=staff has done a good
job in providing the students
with e, newspaper which contained
materiel of acceptable quality
Even . though this seemed not to
be the case at the outset of the
term, when th® staff had a
little trouble in getting the
"ball rolling", indications
around the middle of the term
were that the BUGLE was goad
enough to gain the praise of
some of our teachers and even
teachers of*- other schools who
read the BUGLE.
ThiSj, of course, is due
largely to the work of the BUGLE
sfcaff members and resa reporters,
to whoa we would like to
express bur thanks for the coop
aration rec eired,,
But much of th© credit goes
to the teaching-staff members-who
enabled us to use the fact
lilies of the school in prepar-lag
th© BUGLE® Mr-, Baldwin, who
spent hours in checking reports
and getting them typed and
printede deserves special mention,
as does Mr, Solberg, who
greatly helped us in connection
with contributions to our Easter
Issue,,
As, this report is being
written, preparations are underway
for a final giant--size issue
of the BUGLE.,, and in anticipation
of the outcome of this pro-jest,
we would Ilk© to express
our thanks to those who will
give us their cooperation, Also
from the rest of the staff,, we
wish good luck and success to
next year’s IKJGLS-staff ®

Can virtual water trade save water resources?
No full textAt times, certain areas of China suffering from water shortages. While China’s government is spurring innovation and infrastructure to help head off such problems, it may be that some water conservation could help as well. It is well-known that water is embodied in traded goods—so called “virtual water trade” (VWT). In China, it seems that many water-poor areas are perversely engaged in VWT. Further, China is also engaging on the global trend of fragmentation in production, even as an interregional phenomenon. It seems some implications could be learned about conserving or reducing VWT, if we knew where and how it is practiced. From those implications, perhaps policies could be formulated. We employ China’s multiregional input-output tables straddling two periods to trace the trade of a given region’s three types of goods: local final goods, local intermediate goods, and goods that shipped to other regions and countries. We find that goods traded interregionally in China in 2012 embodied 30.4% of all water used nationwide. Nationwide, water use increased substantially over 2007-2012 due to greater shipment volumes of water-intensive products. In fact, as suspected, the rise in value chain-related trade was a major overall contributing factor. Coastal areas tended to be net receivers of VTW from interior provinces, although reasons differed, e.g. Shanghai received more to fulfill its final demand and Zhejiang for its value-chain related trade. In sum, the variety of our findings reveals an urgent need to consider trade types and water scarcity when developing water resource allocation and conservation policies.Peer reviewe
Poverty, the U.S. South, and the SRSA
No full textThis paper is a broad expansion of an SRSA Research Fellows Address presented in Roslyn, Virginia on April 16th, 2019. In it, I extol the virtues of poverty research, particularly that focused on the U.S. where households living on less than $4/day/person compose the largest shares of county populations. I note that two factors that are the hallmark of such extreme poverty-- lack of a vehicle and lack of internet service --are forcing poor household to perceive themselves as ever more isolated, for greater accessibility for the rest of the U.S. population amplifies the gap created by their deficiency. This is because others expect everyone has such access. Southern areas with persistent poverty --the Black Belt, the Mississippi Delta, and Appalachia --have concentrations of such extreme poor and also have deficient access to the rest of the world. I suggest that Americans should find a way to ameliorate this condition. I conclude by encouraging my SRSA colleagues to do what they do best, but with a poverty tilt, as a means of petitioning policy makers and the public.Peer reviewe
Households' Energy Consumption Change in China: A Multi-Regional Perspective
No full textAs China’s economy enters the “new normal” phase, its growth model has gradually changed to focus more on domestic consumption. In this paper, we examine regional disparities in households’ total (direct and indirect) energy use in China from 2002 to 2012. Using a structural decomposition approach, we examine how changes in China’s technology, economic structure, urbanization, lifestyle, and interregional trade affect household energy use across different regions. We find that rising income levels contributed most to energy usage. Improved energy efficiency offset the rising effects of heightened household consumption in most regions. Rural-to-urban migration played an important role in enhancing energy use in all regions from 2002 to 2012. Moreover, households started to rely more heavily on interregional trade of final goods and services to meet their consumption demands. Based on this multi-regional and multi-angle study, we provide some regional-specific policies that would help curb household energy demand and promote sustainable consumption in China.Peer reviewe
