In this article, recently developed Bayesian spatial and ecological regression models are applied to analyse small-area variation in accident and injury. This study serves to demonstrate how Bayesian modelling techniques can be implemented to assess potential risk factors measured at group (e.g. area) level. Presented here is a unified modelling framework that enables thorough investigations in...

land use planning is a science that determines the type of land use through studying the ecological character of the land as well as its socio-economic structure. it is possible to plan for the appropriate use of the land and to enhance the present management of the land use by utilizing geographical information system (gis). to this end, our investigators identified and took steps toward devel...

The oceans are a crucial source of natural resources for human development, as productive terrestrial resources increasingly reach their limits of economic and ecological exploitation. With increasing human impact on oceans, it is vital to maintain a sustainable human–ocean relationship. We present an indicator system and information entropy model to assess the evolution of human–ocean systems ...

Climate change has profound consequences for the agriculture of south-eastern Australia and its climate-induced water shortage in the Murray-Darling Basin. Post Keynesian Economics (PKE) macro-dynamics, along with Kaleckian investment and growth theory, are used to develop an ecological-economic system dynamics model of this complex nonlinear river basin system. The MurrayDarling Basin Simulati...

This study provides a multidimensional analysis of sustainable socio-economic development and its challenges in the rural areas of Ukraine. The methodology of realization of sustainable development’s conceptual provisions was created. The advantages of using indicative assessment at the regional level were justified. The methodical approach how to define the indicators of sustainable developmen...

Recent aggregate tests of the impact of taxes on long-run growth rates in OECD countries remain vulnerable to two criticisms. First, they typically use ‘an aggregate average rate, or constructed marginal rate, that probably does not affect the rate that any particular economic decision maker is facing’ (Myles, 2007, p.89). Second, despite increased testing of corporate tax effects, the models e...
