“…Much of the employment effect in URBANCHUCK (2007) employment effect from biofuels production is reliant on an expansion in the amount of feedstock produced (SWENSON, 2007). SWENSON (2006;2007), SWENSON and EATHINGTON (2006) and LOW and ISSERMAN (2009) show how constraining the output of the grain sector reduces the economic impact.…”

The regional economic impact of biofuel production depends upon a number of interrelated factors: the specific biofuels feedstock and production technology employed; the sector's embeddedness to the rest of the economy, through its demand for local resources; the extent to which new activity is created. These issues can be analysed using multisectoral economic models. Some studies have used (fixed price) Input-Output (IO) and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) modelling frameworks, whilst a nascent Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) literature has also begun to examine the regional (and national) impact of biofuel development. This paper reviews, compares and evaluates these approaches for modelling the regional economic impacts of biofuels.Keywords: biofuels; economic modelling; input-output; social accounting matrix; computable general equilibrium. Continued growth of biofuels production is projected for the coming decades.The US is targeting a four-fold increase between 2008 and 2022 to 36 billion gallons, (UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, 2010), while biofuels and other renewable fuels 1 for transport are mandated by the European Commission to increase to a minimum of 10% of energy in the transport sector in every member state by 2020 (EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 2011). Ethanol production is projected to increase by 70% in the decade to 2020 (OECD, 2011). The same report predicts that biodiesel production will increase by 138% over the same period, largely due to increases in Western Europe and large percentage increases in North and South America and Asia (OECD, 2011).Biofuels production in each region will require significant resources from its host economies, in particular labour and land. A major report into "green jobs" by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) argues that biofuel development will lead to jobs both in the agricultural sector and in fuel processing industries (UNEP, 2008) 2 . In the future, biofuels production is predicted to generate employment for over 9 million people in China alone (UNEP, 2008, p. 119). The specific employment impacts will depend critically, among other things, on the types of biomass produced -biodiesel feedstock, for instance, is typically harvested using more labour intensive forms of production than bioethanol feedstock (UNEP, 2008).Page 2The UNEP report points to significant increases in the amount of land required for biofuel production. This would increase demand for a geographically immobile factor of production. Further adverse impacts could be felt on critical ecosystemsperhaps due to increased demand for water (OECD, 2011) -and on those communities who may be removed from land which is to be used to grow bio-feedstock (UNEP, 2008, p. 122). It would be expected that the potentially large changes in demands for factors of production across the world would lead to significant impacts on these regional economies.The only robust method of assessing the impact of new, or changes to existing, biofuels production on the host regional ...

“…Approximately 10% of the sector's final demand is from other sources than government. xiv For further discussion of analysing the impact of expenditure switching within an IO context, see Allan et al (2007). xv It should be noted that RUK exports include central government expenditures such as grants offered by research councils based on UK-wide competitive bidding.…”

“…This contrasts with mega-events through their use of existing infrastructure, their need for less public support to host, their avoidance of tourism seasonality, and their more easily managed scale (Higham, 1999). Our paper does not focus on a particular event (see for example, Gibson et al, 2002;Allan et al, 2007) main objective is not to quantify the impact of the tourism expenditure associated with regular season sporting competitions. However, we observed that the expenditures are large per person, and increase with married people and with a greater number of family elements.…”

Prólogo ESIC sigue apostando por la investigación en el ámbito turísticoSin duda, la industria turística representa uno de los sectores económicos más relevantes de la economía española. Las cifras hablan por sí solas: según el Ministerio de Industria, Energía y Turismo, en 2014 casi 65 millones de turistas internacionales visitaron España, superando por segundo año consecutivo nuestro récord histórico. Por otra parte, en el sector turístico se está observando una evolución imparable en diversos ámbitos: los cambios en el comportamiento del turista han determinado que las nuevas tecnologías se conviertan en grandes aliadas para conocer a un cliente mucho más exigente e informado. En este sentido, el Big Data se alza como el principal protagonista en un mercado cada vez más segmentado. Precisamente, las nuevas preferencias de los turistas están motivando la aparición de nuevos modelos de negocio que se adapten a aquello que demandan los turistas. Asimismo, resulta imperativo contar con los medios necesarios para analizar e interpretar correctamente los datos procedentes del ámbito turístico y situar al cliente en el centro de la estrategia empresarial.Conscientes de la preocupación por mejorar las estrategias de comunicación y marketing de la industria turística, este monográfico de aDResearch ESIC, ha querido contribuir con la difusión de trabajos académicos a esta importante área para la economía de los países y regiones.Son muchas las líneas de investigación abiertas sobre este sector. Entre ellas cabe destacar, el análisis del comportamiento del consumidor a la hora de buscar información online con dispositivos móviles como los smartphones y tablets que va aumentando su frecuencia, en los últimos años, frente al clásico ordenador. Esta tendencia creciente es importante a la hora de definir las estrategias de comunicación y marketing de las empresas ya que son canales tanto de comercialización como de comunicación en el sector turístico.Por otra parte, gran parte de la investigación también se ha detenido en el estudio de la imagen de un destino turístico, ya que resulta clave para el éxito del mismo; además, con la creciente exigencia por parte de los consumidores, del afloramiento de nuevos destinos competidores y el incremento en la promoción por parte de destinos tradicionales, es necesario dirigir los esfuerzos a la proyección de una imagen favorable como elemento diferenciador del destino con el fin de que los consumidores potenciales encuentre motivadora su visita al mismo.Por otro lado, no hay que olvidar la experiencia que vive un viajero en un determinado lugar bien sea por visita turística, viaje de negocios, estancia de estudio o asistencia a un determinado evento. El visitante traslada las percepciones de experiencia hacia el valor percibido, ya que asistiendo a los eventos se viven experiencias, lo que revierte en la mejora de la imagen del destino que celebran los mismos.Por todo ello, se hace necesario realizar un seguimiento de la innovación y revolución digital sobre el sector; de la monitori...
