Measuring inequality in a region: a SAM approach
Get PDFIn this paper, we apply SAM linear models to the economy in a Spanish region, Extremadura, from the usual household disaggregation of these matrices. The analysis aims to some issues related to income distribution. To achieve these goals, some relative multipliers are computed and we propose different simulations based on final demand and income transfers. Finally, we also compute the standard statistical measures of inequality and show how these measures change if different transfer policies are applied. JEL CODES: C69, D31, D59, H59
VALIDATING POLICY INDUCED ECONOMIC CHANGE USING SEQUENTIAL GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM SAMs
Get PDFThis paper explores the capacity of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to track down policy induced economic changes and their ability to generate contrastable data for an economy. Starting from an empirically built regional Social Accounting Matrix (SAM), a first stage CGE calibrated model is constructed. The model is then perturbed with a set of policy shocks related to European Union Structural Funds 2000-2005 invested into the region of Andalusia in the south of Spain. The counterfactual equilibrium is translated into a virtual SAM, conformal with the initial one, which is in turn reused to calibrate the next stage in the CGE modeling. And so on until the last stage is reached and all European funds yearly invested have been absorbed by the economy. Since at the end of the process another empirical SAM is available, it can be compared with the terminally produced virtual SAM. The comparison shows the sequence of SAMs to provide a very good fit to the actual data in the empirical SAM. Regional GDP and unemployment rates are two examples of the close approximation. With this novel approach we evaluate, from the methodological viewpoint, the projection capabilities of CGE modeling and at the same time we provide an empirical assessment of the said European policies.Social accounting matrices, applied general equilibrium, impact analysis, European regional policy.

Scaphochlamys endauensis Y. Y. Sam & H. Ibrahim 2015, sp. nov.
No full text2. Scaphochlamys endauensis Y. Y. Sam & H. Ibrahim, sp. nov. (Figs. 3–4) Scaphochlamys endauensis resembles S. breviscapa but it differs in having a channelled petiole compared to the terete petiole in S. breviscapa. It also has a shorter bladeless sheath than S. breviscapa (6.5–10.5 cm versus 11.5–18 cm long). Type:— PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. Johor: Endau Rompin State Park, Kuala Jasin, trail to Gunung Janing Barat, 30–60 m, 9 August 2006, Y. Y . Sam, K. Apok & H. L. Kueh FRI 50204 (holotype: KEP!, isotypes: KLU!, SAN!, SING!). Rhizomatous herb, (20–)30–50(–70) cm tall. Rhizome 3–5 mm diameter when dried, creeping horizontally on or below ground surface. Successive shoots clustering together and forming loose clump of 1–3 leafy shoots. Bladeless sheathes 2–3, the largest 6.5–10.5 cm long, dark purple red or green, hairy, not persistent. Leaf 1 per shoot, base slightly swollen; sheath 1.5–1.8 cm long, edges thin, hairy or glabrous, not persistent; ligule small, densely hairy; petiole plus sheath 10–36 cm long, channelled, dark purple red or green, glabrous or hairy; lamina 15–26.5(–33) × 7.3–12 cm, narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate, base cuneate to attenuate, apex broadly acute to obtuse, adaxial surface glabrous, abaxial surface glabrous or sparsely hairy, densely hairy along midrib, hairs fine, long and appressed, pale green with reddish tinge on apex. Inflorescence 4.5–16.5(–19) cm long, green or red; peduncle 1–10(–12.5) cm long, hairy; rachis 2–7.5 cm long, compact, axis not visible, consisted of (4)6–13 floral bracts, bracts overlapping and closely appressed to axis. Largest floral bract (23–26)30–35 × 11–13 mm, boat-shaped, dark purple red or green, sparsely hairy, more dense along the edges and apex, thick fleshy, margin incurved but not overlapped, apex acute, pointed upright. Cincinnus with (3)4–7 flowers in each bract. First bracteole 12–21 mm long, narrow, 8–10 mm width when flattened, 2-keeled, hairy or sparsely hairy on upper half, apex acute or blunt; subsequent bracteoles reducing in size. Flowers (40) 46–55 mm long, white, except labellum. Calyx 8–12 mm long, ca. 2 mm width, tubular, hairy, split 3–5 mm unilaterally from apex, apex truncate or acute. Floral tube 28–32 mm long; dorsal corolla lobe 11–15 mm long, near triangular, edges inflexed, apex hooded, tip pointed; lateral corolla lobes 10–14 mm, edges inflexed, apex acute. Staminodes 8–12 × 3–5 mm, oblanceolate, apex broadly acute or near rounded, abaxial surface covered by glandular hairs. Labellum 13–20 × 10–17 mm, obovate, apex bilobed, cleft 3–5 mm from apex, abaxial surface covered by glandular hairs, yellow median band with or without purple streaks at both sides. Stamen 6–9 mm long, covered by glandular hairs on abaxial surface; filament 2–4 mm long; pollen sacs 3–3.5 mm long, basal spurred, dehiscing longitudinally; anther-crest 1–3 × 2.5–4 mm, apex trilobed or entire, extended and recurved. Stigma ca. 1 × 1 mm, funnel-shaped, hairy. Ovary 1–2 × ca. 1 mm, hairy, unilocular, ca. 2 ovules. Epigynous glands 2, filiform, ca. 5 mm long. Fruit ellipsoid, ca. 11 × 7 mm, wall thin, fleshy, near transparent, enclosed 2–3 seeds. Seed kidney-shaped, ca. 7 × 3 mm, covered with aril. Etymology:—The epithet ‘Endau’ refers to the Endau River and its tributaries that flow through the state park where the plants are most commonly found and abundant. Distribution and habitat:—Endemic in Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. Lowland dipterocarp forest, 25–370 m elevation, forest floor, level and undulating terrain, in shaded areas. Conservation status:—Near Threatened, NT. The species meets the area requirements under criterion B for Endangered (extent of occurence = 262 km 2 and area of occupancy = 16 km 2). However, the plants are commonly found and well protected in Endau Rompin State Park, a Totally Protected Area. Among all the known locations, only the populations in the Lenggor Forest Reserve are threatened by logging but this is unlikely to cause the species to extinct or becoming critically endangered in the future. Therefore, the listing is justified under the NT category (IUCN, 2012). Additional specimens examined (paratypes):—PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. Johor: Mersing, Gunung Janing, 20 October 1892, H. W .

Discussion:— Scaphochlamys endauensis is common on the forest floor of Endau Rompin State Park. Previously, the plant was wrongly identified as S. oculata Holttum (1950: 92). However, both are very different upon close examination, differing in the number of flowers in each cincinnus (S. oculata has 1–3 flowers in each cincinnus compared to 4–7 flowers in S. endauensis) and the distinctive coloured streaks beside the yellow median band on the labellum (S. oculata has bright red streaks but they are purple in S. endauensis). Scaphochlamys endauensis Holttum (1950: 95) is actually more similar to S. breviscapa. However, these two species are different principally in the cross section of petiole (channelled in S. endauensis versus terete in S. breviscapa) and the size of bladeless sheath (6.5–10.5 cm long in S. endauensis versus 11.5–18 cm long in S. breviscapa). In addition, the leaf sheath of S. endauensis (1.5–1.8 cm) is consistently longer than S. breviscapa (0.7–1 cm). Its lamina is elliptic to oblanceolate with broadly acute to obtuse apex and cuneate to attenuate base whereas S. breviscapa has elliptic to broadly ovate lamina with acute apex and rounded or cuneate base. Furthermore, S. endauensis has larger floral bracts (30–35 × 11–13 mm) as compared to S. breviscapa (20–30 × 7–17 mm). The staminodes of S. endauensis is oblanceolate with broadly acute to near rounded apex which differ from the linear ones with truncate apex in S. breviscapa. Both S. endauensis and S. breviscapa are found on the East Coast Range of Peninsular Malaysia. The mountainous range extends from northeast to south of the peninsula and at the central part, it is intercepted by large swamps (Raj, 2009). Scaphochlamys breviscapa is distributed in the Terengganu Highlands in Terengganu and Pahang whilst S. endauensis is found at the south of Peninsular Malaysia.Published as part of Sam, Yen Yen, Ibrahim, Halijah & Saw, Leng Guan, 2015, Four new species of Scaphochlamys (Zingiberaceae) from Peninsular Malaysia, pp. 21-34 in Phytotaxa 221 (1) on pages 24-27, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.221.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/477964
Interview with Blind Sam Sutton about Caldwell Fork
No full textThis 56-page manuscript is titled “Interview with Blind Sam Sutton,” a 92-year-old former resident of Cataloochee. The 1973 interview recalls life on Caldwell Fork. The history was collected as part of the Cataloochee History Project that collected photographs, stories, and oral histories about families who lived in the Cataloochee Valley. Today’s Cataloochee Valley is within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes.. ""'! .- . -~----------~~

) This old Elzie Caldwell 's a livin' with a woman by the name of Susie
woods, an' he was, ah-- Well these scouts come in, they 's pranked aid
/235/ scouts from White Oak down here. An' they, they come in an' demanded
this Old Man Billy to tell 'em where the boys were at. They'd got a report
you know.
Uh huh.
An' so, he wouldn't do it. An' they whipped him but they struck him with
a strop 'n' just let, he'd, come over then 'n' hit the floor, didn't hurt
him much.
Uh huh.
An' so he wouldn't tell 'ern. They couldn't get it out of him. They went
on these old wirnrnen an' they wouldn't tell 'em 'n' they whipped them. And
so they played gone these scouts did. They left and got out of sight 'n'
wirnrnen like they thought they were gone. An' the men too. And so the men
come to get 'ern some·ching to eat. 'N' these scouts jumped out 'n' captured
'ern. An' they tuk 'ern up on Fork Mountain 'n' they killed 'em. Ah, at
White Branch. That's the place they killed 'ern. An' then they went over
to Big Catalooch an' they told the Old Man Jess Palmer that they had left
ove.P....
two burglars~here. An' Jess he come to see about it, 'n' he brought old
Aunt Susie Caldwell, she's the only woman I know of, but she was -there.
An' they brought these men blankets 'n' buried 'em up there. An' this
boy Riley, Riley Shelton, hit 's his daddy 'n' his uncle. Ah, who the men
wuz. An' when he got grown he went up there 'n' tuk the bones of 'ern 'n'
buried 'em in there with old Uncle Billy's wife. She-- they're all buried
together there. So that's how come the nam~, th' place being named
Caldwell Fork. An' so you can take that if you want to. 'N' I can tell
you. Old Uncle Jess he lived there, Jess McGhee.
Uh huh.
He lived there. An' died. Him 'n' his wife an' the girl. And I don't
remember that girl's name. I, I never met her. It was before my time.
I never met the girl, but his wife was named Amy. Amy McGhee. An' her
'n' Jess 'n' the girl 's all buried there. On Caldwell Fork. Ah, right
across the branch, an' out in the field. I've got, uh, four brothers
buried there in the same graveyard.
Huh.
Yes sir.
How large a family did you come from?
Ah, it fif-- they 's 14 of us 'n' we had a sister, one, one sister. An'
they're all gone now but me 'n' her 'n' one boy. Ever one.
Now where does she live now?
She lives right around the road here.
Well, how about that.
Yeah. She lives on, uh, the same road I do.
Well that's good.
Yeah. And she married Thurman Evans.
Now where was he from?
He, well he was raised on, uh, Cove Creek mostly. Uh, he finally got
in this country when he got to be a pretty good sized boy, his daddy
moved in this country.
Uh huh.
An' his daddy still lives, Old Man Jim Evans. He stays at Maggie above
Maggie with one of his sons. And wife.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Have you heard any more tales about the Civil War?
Sir?
Have you heard any more tales about what happened during the Civil
War in Cataloochee?
No. No. That's about all. That ever, I ever knowed about. Ah, they 's
ah, several people you know the scouts come in 'n' killed. They killed
two, two Grooms boys. And this, they 's on this side of the gap at Mt.
Sterling, an' they made 'em play the fiddle 'n' pick the banjer 'n' then
when they heard all the music they wanted to they shot 'em.
Huh.
An' that's called today the Grooms Boys Branch. It was right, a small
branch an' it goes by that name. The Grooms Boys Branch. It's on this
side of the gap.
Well, tell me something.

Uh huh.
An' I went to Dr. Bob Medford for a good bit, 'n' he told me that death
cured it, 'n' that's about right.
How about that.
Yeah.
Well, who else played with you up there?
Th' Old Man George Sutton he played the fiddle. And, uh, let's see.
An' guitars like they have now wasn't the size you see nowadays, wasn't
many people owned 'em.
Uh huh.
They didn't have 'em banjers and fiddles what they wanted.
How about that.
Ha, ha, ha.
How about a dulcimer?
Ah, they didn't have one.
That's something.
Yeah.
Well
Yeah. They, they went the sound of banjer and fiddle.
Hmm. You remember some of the tunes you used to play?
Yeah. Ah.

How about that.
Yeah, I done.
"Down the Road" and "Cripple Creek"
Yeah. "Shout Lou." And "Arkansaw." Ah, that's a good tune. "Arkansaw"
is.
Well, where did you play up in Cataloochee1 Where did everybody get
together for the dance?
Well, they 'd, ah, first one, maybe it'd be where I was at. And maybe
somebody else's house.
How about that.
An' they was old Messer man, one of them Messer people. They 's all
musicians. They could pick 'n' play the fiddle. An' we'd go 'n' just have
a time running old country round-up. That's the way we done.
Did you ever have any /292/ banjos?
Sir?
Did you ever have any banjos, see who could last the longest?
No. Nub uh. No.
I bet you would have been the grand champion.
Yeah. I, I guess I'd won cause I, I could pick a whole lot 'n' without
picking the same tune. I guess I could. I've no idea, but that's the
way it 'd have went.
Where did you live on Caldwell Fork?
Ah, about two miles from the top of this Purchase Mountain. You know
about it?
About where it is.
Blind
Well, I lived two miles down from the top. On Caldwell Fork.
How about that.
Yeah. That's right.
Beautiful country up in there.
Yeah. And some of the largest timber. They 's timber there that, uh,
well it was in sight of where we was at. They 's six trees would have
Jwt:.l \1 1'1 !1
made anybody a good r~ng tlouse. A good un.
How about that.
The trees would
One tree would make a house. Huh.
Yeah. Yeah, they'd made a real house 'n' they 's poplars.
Whew. That's big.
Yeah. They 's some of the largest timb~in that section of country
they is in the state of North Carolina. Yes sir. They 's some of the
largest timber. We had one oak tree that 's in what they call the Den
Flats, an' they 's an old fellow by the name of Will Tate cut the
timber in there. An' I knowed him well. And he left that tree because
he didn't have stock an' men to handle it. It was 30 feet around.
Whew.
And that 's 10 feet in diameter.
Uh huh.
That was a large tree. But somebody told me that that tree had fell.
And I guess that's right. They said it had, I haven't been to it in
well, in 40 year I don't guess. It's-- but since that somebody told me
it 1 d fell.
Now, when did you leave Caldwell Fork?
Well the park, uh, uh, give orders fer people when they bought 'em, was
then I left.
Uh.
That 's in '32 I believe. I think it was.
So you had been, you had been up there for quite a while?
Ah
When they had you leave.
Yeah. Yeah. Well you see the way it was. My brother owned 90 acres in
what they call the Turkey Cove.
Now I'm not familiar with that.
Sir?
I'm not familiar with that.
Well, hit's right straight from the Caldwell Fork country, you go right
through there, ah, hit's jest a trailway. An' you pass the Robert Palmer
place, 'n' so on, to go through it. And my uncle made a road when they
's in there in this Den Flat country they bought that. And this Old
Man Will Tate he cut it. He cut it 'n' sawed it. And he had my uncle to
make a road. So they could haul, haul it out. But they never hauled it
out. Hit was burned. 'n' you know what fer (Laughing)
Go ahead and tell me about that.
Well, it was, ah, ah, fine yard of lumber, an' one night hit just got
on fire. And so he, that was to get insurance without work. (Laughing)
Yeah. You know how that goes. (Laughing)
Comes in handy in the winter.
0 h B 0 y! That of all times. It saved him, you see he had this road
made in there and he didn't have it like a road orter be. But then he
IS' uh, his lumber yard went ashes 'n' dust.
Were there any lumbering companies in there or were there was it
just a private individual?
Well, hit 's more of a private individual 'n~ anything else. Yeah.
Well did he have, did he have his own sawmill? Or did he take them
Up to Cataloochee?
The Old Man Tate? Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah he had
Was that right on Caldwell Fork?
They 's right next to Caldwell Fork. There, Den Flats was. Yeah.
Was it a good sized mill?
Yeah, it 's pretty good size mill. It 's jest a, jest a common circle
you know like they have. And it wasn't like a band outfit. It, but they
could cut lots of lumber out of good timber like that.
Let's see, when the park came along about how many people were over
there on Caldwell Fork?
They 's, well, I'll tell you, I'll name 'em 'n' you count 'em.
OK
Uh, they 's, not counting myself now. Cause I wasn't married then. Uh,
they was Houston Sutton, 'n' John Caldwell, 'n' Bobby Caldwell. And Jim
Sutton. And we're, we're counting right next to the park now,
Uh huh.
Jim Sutton. Lijah Messer. And, uh, Carson Messer. An' Mack 'n' Bob
Barton.
Hnnn.
And that's, then this Robert Palmer I 's telling you about, he lived
back in there next to the Den Flats. His brother Frank sold this Old
Man Tate the Den Flats. An' he got the timber. An' he bought it at that
time for twelve hundred.
Whew.
And they 's trees in there that two of 'em was almost a /328/ (Laughing)
He, he, now I'll tell you a joke on, uh, Robert. Ah.
'\ I
He '4 go to school
Big Catalooch. When he 's a young man like. An' the teacher said, "Class,"
said, "Everybody, uh, as I call the names," sez, "ever, you stand and tell
what you want to be when you get older." All right. So they 's some told
this 'n' some told that 'n' some told the other. Like young uns '11 do
you know.
Uh huh.
Girls 'n' boys all. And Robert he stood up. An' they asked him said
"What do you want to be." Sez, "I want to be the boogerman." (Laughing)
He wanted to go around and scare everybody.
Yeah. They said, "Don't you want to be something else besides the
boogerman? 11 "No, 11he said, "that's what I want to be." And he went by the
name of that as long as he stayed there. The park finally run him out. He,
they bought his property 'n' run him out. And, but I, I didn't finish my
joke. One time Bobby Caldwell's wife come up there, right, it was real
late, hit 's in the summertime, and she wanted me 'n' all that she could
git to go ·with her. Uh, Robert had-- that 's her man but we always called
him Bobby Caldwell. And so she said he 'd went to cut some hay for Robert
Palmer 'n' hadn't got . in. And she was afraid he'd got hurt or something
with the machine.
Uh huh.
He had a mowing machine. Well, we all bunched up and went with this
woman. And we 's going round the road next to Messers, Lige Messers.
And I heard 'em. I said, "People stop and wait til they get a little
closer, fer," I said, "they're coming. I hear 'em." We waited and they
come, 'n' they was both pretty high. And we went on to the-- we went on--
we had to cross the branch. It 's called the Long Branch. And so they 's
two little old poles like that and you had to walk them. That was all the
way they was toccross it. And Robert he decided he 'd pull one on me and
he got up on it, was a going to crawl. And he was drunk you know, and he
rolled off, in the branch. (Laughing) I jumped in. And Bobby he'd done
got his, his machine through 'n' so on ' , and he jumped in there 'n' he was
drunk too 'n' he fell down. That was some kidding about when to back up.
So I got 'em out. Next morning I went down there and Old Man Robert 'n'
Bobby 's setting on the porch. I sez, "Well, I come down to tell you
fellers. I se~ I'm going to do whatever I want to, don't make any
difference how many they is or what is causes," I sez, "I'm going to do
that." Robert sez, "How's that." I sez, "Boogerman got drunk." {Laughing)
Then he caught on to me. He laughed, I never heard a man laugh so yet.
As that old man did about that. {Laughing) Yeah, I told him I 's out of
danger, the boogerman got drunk. (Laughing) He 's Robert the menace.
They 's all good to me though. Ever _place. And their men, go over the

mountains, they have to you know the rangers stalk. And they'd, these
women, children 'd all bunch at one place, and they'd put me in the front
room, and so if any boogers come they'd git me first.
Break 352.
They'd get you first.
Yeah. They 'd git me first. That's right.
How about that.
They'd do that. They 's, well, we'll never have it agin of course. In

That was their way of do-- and, uh, Big Catalooch was as bad as we was.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Was there a lot of stills up there?
Oh yeah. They 's plenty of 'em. Yeah.
You think there were more stills in that area than in most of the
other areas in these hills around here?
They's not so many there now. There, uh, they aint nobody, no people.
Uh huh.
Much. No.
How about around ~920?

Uh huh.
Ah, we went to an old man by the name of Ralston Smith that lived there
at the time. An' this old man Ralston, ah, we, we run into him at Bobbys
1n' they 's three corn mills there. Ever the-- they had things as
convenient as they could. They'd grind their corn, their own corn, an'
yours, 'n' everbody looked after each other.
Uh huh.
They, they done that. And we, we found old man Ralston at Bobbys. And
we called him out 'n' told him what we wanted. He sez, "All right,"
said, "I'll just go in here and git my meal and go with you. And get it
fer you." Well, he had a big sack of meal, 'n' he was old 'n' I carried
it fer him 'nl I tuk it 'n' carried it. And so we went up there an' from
the baby up he-- he come in 'n' he first give us a drink of the whiskey,
and tuk a drink hisself, and then from the baby up he give likker.
Huh.
And that was the funniest thing to me. Them little old young uns just
drink that the same as I wuz. Yeah. And come to his wife she drunk it.
And, then, that 's the way they was about it. Yeah.
Was there ever a church ever on Caldwell Fork?
A church? No. No. They was a school but no church.
Now did most of the people over on Caldwell Fork go to the Palmer
Chapel or did they go up on Little Cataloochee.

No, they never went most of 'em /369/ They never went nowhere.
Naw
Huh.
(N0 te: From 369 to 374 a telephone conversation

So most of them didn't go to church?
Yeah. That's right.
Well now would, did the women go to church?
No.
Hmm.
No. They didn't go. That's right.
What was, what was the big day? Now was Sunday the big day?
Yeah. We'd, ah, everbody would respect Sunday. But they wouldn't go
out. You see it was across the mountain from Caldwell Fork to Big
Catalooch and, and hit's a long ways to go 'n' .they just didn't do it.
Hmm.
That's all. Yeah.
Would you mind if I smoke a cigarette?
No, sir. Go ahead.
/373/
No.
I see, then where was the, where was the main market?
The-- now you mean the store?
Uh huh.
The store that they
Where did the folks take their crops? If they wanted to sell them
or trade them off for other goods?
Well they, they always traded each other. They never traded much out.
Uh, now, many 'd go town, tuk two days, uh, to go to town. They 'd buy 'em
some flour 'n' sugar 'n' coffee 'n' stuff like that. Something that they
couldn't raise you know. And come back in.
What town was that?

Income Distribution in a Regional Economy: A SAM Model
Get PDFSocial accounting matrices (SAM) are a numerical scheme of the circular flow. The SAM-based multipliers can be used to determine the changes in the relative income of the economic agents. In this paper we investigate the process of income distribution in the Catalan Economy, using the linear model of SAM multipliers. We also present an additive decomposition of the distributional incidence measurement provided by Roland-Holst and Sancho (1992). With this decomposition we can identify the different components in the overall process of income distribution among the agents of an economy. The proposed approach pays special attention to the role of the government in the process of income distribution.relative income, distributional incidence, government redistribution.
Globe: A SAM Based Global CGE Model using GTAP Data
Get PDFThis paper provides a technical description of a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that is calibrated from a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) representation of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database. An important feature of the model is the treatment of nominal and real exchange rates and hence the specification of multiple numéraire. Another distinctive feature of the model is the use of a ‘dummy’ region, known as globe, that allows for the recording of inter regional transactions where either the source or destination are not identified.

General Equilibrium Analysis of the Spatial Impacts of Rural Policy
Get PDFGeneral equilibrium (GE) techniques have recently been used to simulate policy impacts for neighbouring or different rural areas, thus focussing on the important spatial aspect of such policies. A Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) represents production, households, government, etc. in matrix form, while computable GE models introduce greater behavioural flexibility at the cost of parameterisation. Several SAM and CGE models have recently been built for rural regions, while others have tried to represent rural-urban linkages. This paper presents two SAM applications, and one current CGE approach. The first SAM was developed for the analysis of the economic impact of Objective 1 policy on six remote rural areas, including two in Greece. Six specific regional SAMs were used to quantify the growth-generation effects of EU policies and scenarios on these local economies. The second effort used a hybrid three-area SAM for two different rural areas and an adjacent city in Crete to assess the diffusion patterns of economic impacts generated by three types of CAP measure in one of the rural areas. A CGE example, from the ongoing TERA project, seeks to model the determinants of economic agglomeration, and will attempt to cope with rural/urban distance and environmental externalities. Advantages of the SAM approach include its simplicity and availability of data and software. Disadvantages include significant data needs, linear behaviour, no real modelling of growth (development) or price changes, and the fact that some policies apply to many sectors in unknown way. The CGE approach may overcome some of these problems.Community/Rural/Urban Development,
Kadar Kalium Serum Pada Latihan Fisik Intensitas Ringan Mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi
Get PDF: Potassium is one of the three highest concentration electrolytes in sweat. This is defined as the greater the rate of sweat excreation is, the greater the rate of potassium lost will be. Lossing sweat may occur while doing physical activity. The purpose of this study is to find differences in serum potassium levels before and after light intensity exercise in the student year 2010 in Faculty of Medicine Sam Ratulangi University. Thirty students, taken by purposive sampling method, were participate as samples in this study. Results showed the mean serum potassium levels before exercise was 4,0933 mEq/L and after exercise was 4,3267 mEq/L. Analysis using paired-samples t-test showed significant result (p = 0,001). Based from results, it can be concluded that there is a significant different between serum potassium level before and after light intensity exercise
