About the reinterpretation of the Ghosh model as a price model
2001
The Ghosh model assumes that, in an input-output framework, each commodity is sold to each sector in fixed proportions. This model is strongly criticized because it seems implausible in the traditional input-output field. To answer to these critics, Dietzenbacher stresses that it can be reinterpreted as a price model: the Leontief price model is equivalent to the Ghosh model when this one is interpreted as a price model. This paper shows that the interpretation of the Ghosh model as a price model cannot be accepted because Dietzenbacher makes a strong assumption, dichotomy, while the Ghosh model does not determine prices...
A Dynamic Analysis of Tourism Determinants in Sicily
2015
This study provides an initial analysis of the key determinants of tourism in Sicily. In doing so, it responds to the general lack of a scientific approach in the study and management of tourism in Sicily. By mixing a gravity approach and system dynamics methodology, the attractiveness of Sicily is examined, taking into account both structural and promotional aspects that might affect tourism demand. The results strongly suggest that the island's natural and cultural resources, the road infrastructure and the urban environment are important determinants of tourism demand in Sicily. The findings may be useful for local authorities involved in the development of tourism, and represent a star…
Transformation of the Forest-based Bioeconomy by Embracing Digital Solutions
2017
This paper attempts to explore a new insight to both industrialized and growing economies by demonstrating a digital-driven creative disruption in the forest-based bioeconomy which is beginning to replace its conventional and narrow concept of a forest-blinded economy. Notwithstanding the potential broad cross-sectoral benefits to both industrialized and growing economies, natural environments and locality constraints and the incessant challenge of distance have impeded balanced development of this economy. However, driven by digital solutions the economy has taken big steps forward in recent years. Digitalization has enabled real-time end-to-end supply chain visibility, improved delivery a…
Critical Analysis on the NHTSA Acceptance Criteria for In-Vehicle Electronic Devices
2014
We tested a commercial in-car navigation system prototype against the NHTSA criteria for acceptance testing of in-vehicle electronic devices, in order to see what types of in-car tasks fail the acceptance test and why. In addition, we studied the visual demands of the driving scenario recommended by NHTSA for task acceptance testing. In the light of the results, NHTSA guidelines and acceptance criteria need to be further developed. In particular visual demands of the driving scenario and for different simulators need to be standardized in order to enable fair testing and comparable test results. We suggest the visual occlusion method for finding a driving scenario that corresponds better wi…
Visual Distraction Effects of In-Car Text Entry Methods
2017
Three text entry methods were compared in a driving simulator study with 17 participants. Ninety-seven drivers’ occlusion distance (OD) data mapped on the test routes was used as a baseline to evaluate the methods’ visual distraction potential. Only the voice recognition-based text entry tasks passed the set verification criteria. Handwriting tasks were experienced as the most demanding and the voice recognition tasks as the least demanding. An individual in-car glance length preference was found, but against expectations, drivers’ ODs did not correlate with incar glance lengths or visual short-term memory capacity. The handwriting method was further studied with 24 participants with instru…
MOCSE Centered on Students: Validation of Learning Demands and Teacher Support Scales
2020
Based on The Educational Situation Quality Model (MOCSE, acronym in Spanish) framework, the primary objective of this study is to test the factorial validity and reliability of two MOCSE measure instruments referred to the preactional-decisional phase, specifically to learning demands and teacher supports perceived by students to overcome such demands in the classroom context. The participants were 357 Spanish undergraduate students. The data obtained by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the “Learning Demands Scale” (MOCSE-LDS) has a two-factor structure: perceived desirability and feasibility of demands. The data also revealed that the “Teacher Support Questionnair…
Qualitative analysis of housing demand using Google trends data
2019
Big data analytics often refer to the breakdown of huge amounts of data into a more readable and useful format. This study utilises Google Trends big data as a proxy for an analysis of housing demand. We employ a qualitative method (fuzzy set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis, fsQCA), instead of a quantitative method, for our estimate and forecast. The empirical results show that fsQCA successfully forecasts seasonal time series, even though the dataset is small in size. Our findings fill the gap in the qualitative and time series forecasting literature, and the forecasting procedure herein also offers a good standard for industry.
Plateforme de recherche sur la transition socio-écologique.
2013
Face au changement climatique et à l’épuisement des ressources, il convient d’envisager un changement anthropologique qui permette de préserver notre planète tout en conciliant le progrès social et la performance économique. Comment mobiliser les citoyens et les praticiens autours de conduites éco-responsables dans la perspective d'un développement durable ?Ce projet fédérant les recherches en Sciences Humaines et Sociales vise à identifier les leviers d’une activité professionnelle plus durable en les situant dans une dynamique territoriale observée à l’échelle d’un ou plusieurs petits territoires, qui seront autant de terrains d’expérimentation. Il s’intéresse aux changements de comportem…
Rapport sur la gouvernance du Réseau d’innovation et de recherche sur la Transition socio-écologique
2014
Comme indiqué dans la convention signée le 2 octobre 2013, l’année universitaire 2013-2014 devait permettre de créer le réseau « Transitions » et de fixer les moyens nécessaires à son démarrage. Le Réseau est porté administrativement par la MSH afin de permettre une proximité entre les chercheurs et le monde socio-économique et faciliter le travail collaboratif qui sera effectué avec les chargés de valorisation et chargés de développement Le Réseau de recherche est porté financièrement par l’Université de Bourgogne la première année. Ce portage est réalisé par le subventionnement de l’ADEME à hauteur de 80% du coût de projet pour l’année de démarrage. Son positionnement physique est dans la…
Réseau d'Innovation et de Recherche sur la Transition Socio-écologique
2015
La convention conclue entre l’Agence de l’Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l’Energie (ADEME) Bourgogne et l’Université de Bourgogne, le 1er octobre 2013, est la suite d’un premier partenariat informel qui s’est installé dans le cadre de la réponse à l’appel à projet du programme Movida, porté par la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme de Dijon depuis 2009.La volonté de l’ADEME est en effet de créer une « plateforme » de recherche, qui permette d’agréer les chercheurs, les collectivités et les acteurs du milieu socio-économique autour d’une thématique commune : la transition socio-écologique. L’objectif est multiple. Il s’agit de :-générer des projets de recherche débouchant sur des innovations…
