“…Entrepreneurship, leadership, institutional capacity and aptitude, knowledge, and information management are further aspects that contribute to the growth of the local economy. It is also essential to consider the interplay between the integration of institutions, work procedures, volunteer availability, the development goal, institutional changes, and regional infrastructure (McGahey, 2008).…”

This research analyses and elaborates on the local engagement of communities and government in Kulonprogo to escape the poverty zone and measures to accelerate their local economic development. It presents chances and challenges for local governments to meet their own needs, beginning with the movement of power implementation from centralization to decentralization. Local governments are projected to be more sensitive to regional poverty issues due to fiscal decentralization and the granting of the authority to plan, devise, and implement policies consistent with regional needs. Data ware gathered through in-depth interviews, FGDs, and the distribution of questionnaires to the research subjects. Data processing was performed using the SmartPLS program and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). A comprehensive investigation of three factors and support for fifteen indicators was conducted. The results revealed a significant association between local participation and measures of governance, authority, and local organizations as they pertain to promoting sustainable economic development. Strengthening local participation arrangements that impact every authority and obligation of each interest in the administration of local assets, namely natural and human resources, requires prudent and efficient management. This outcome will directly impact the local economic system and will gradually enhance their economic standing, allowing for eventual stakeholder support and cooperation.

“…This can be thought of as an extension of the clusters approach (Porter, 1998(Porter, , 2000(Porter, , 2011, as promoted by the U.S. Economic Development Administration in its comprehensive economic development strategies (CEDS). Much of the economic development literature has focused on subsidies and incentives (McGahey, 2008). I briefly discuss the importance of not picking winners, such that investments focus on enabling activities that address market failures rather than direct subsidies.…”

Diversifying Hawai‘i's Specialized Economy: A Spatial Economic Perspective

Specialization in tourism exposes the economy of Hawai‘i to external shocks that trigger collapses in tourist numbers. Furthermore, Hawai‘i's economic growth has diminished for decades as the dominance of tourism has not generated productivity growth. In response, policy makers in Hawai‘i increasingly emphasize diversification. This article examines a spatial economics perspective to explain why Hawai‘i is so specialized, and to sketch policy for diversification and growth. Isolated, small, and open economies tend to be more specialized in one or a few industries because increasing returns to scale generates a coordination problem for new industries. By targeting industries that use related know-how, or a Hawai‘i-specific resource, Hawai‘i can access productivity gains from the scale of related and location -bound industries.
