“…The study revealed that the contribution of tourism to GDP was 12.5%. The tourism income multiplier appeared to be 0.94, which was lower than the multiplier obtained by Heng and Low (1990) but higher than Bahamas, Fiji, and Cayman Islands. The estimated tourism employment and output multipliers were 33 jobs per million of Singaporean dollars and 1.96 per Singaporean dollar respectively which appeared to be similar to the findings of previous study of Heng and Low.…”

“…Also, the results showed that 59% of these impacts resulted from fishing-related travel to this area. Heng and Low (1990) conducted an input-output study to estimate tourism's economic impacts in Singapore emphasizing on exhibiting the differences between Leontief and Leontief-Keynes multipliers. Differential sectoral multipliers were estimated based on tourists' countries of origin and their purpose of the trip.…”

RESUMEN:Se propone una metodología para obtener un "precio social y ambiental óptimo" que pueda aplicarse al agua de riego en la Comunidad Foral de Navarra (CFN) de modo que maximice la internalización de los costes ambientales asociados al consumo no contemplados en el actual precio sin que el nivel general de la economía regional se resienta. Para ello se elabora un modelo económico sobre un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) que permite cuantificar y valorar los costes ambientales en cada una de las subcuencas de la Comunidad. Para valorar íntegramente el agua, los elementos que se tienen en cuenta son: volumen, calidad y riesgo de afectar a los ecosistemas acuáticos y de ribera. Estos valores son estimados mediante métodos de valoración económico ambiental. Se construye una curva de demanda para los regantes y un modelo de matrices de cuentas sociales (MCS). A partir de estos elementos se estudia el impacto que sobre la economía de la región tendría un incremento en el precio del agua. Se establece un rango potencial de precios del agua de riego desde el que minimiza los impactos económicos negativos -precio social óptimo-hasta el que internaliza totalmente los costes ambientales del agua-precio ambiental óptimo-.PALABRAS CLAVE: agua, precio óptimo social del agua, SIG, Matriz de Contabilidad Social (MCS), externalidades. Códigos JEL: Q25, Q14Environmental and social ideal price establishment for the irrigation water by means of the internalisation of the environmental costs and the use of social accounting matrix. Application to Navarre.SUMMARY: This work develops a methodology to obtain a "social ad environmental optimal price" for water in the Comunidad Foral de Navarra (CFN) in order to maximize the internalization of the water environmental cost generated by agricultural consumption without affecting the general level of the regional economy. The economical model is built over a Geographical Information System (GIS) that allows quantifying and valuing in economical terms environmental water costs in different basins. Elements that have been considered to describe the water resource value are volume, quality and hazard to affect aquatic and bank ecosystems. Values have been estimated with Environmental Economy methods. A demand curve for water is also built and a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) is used to watch if regional economy supports a price that internalizes total water value. Potential water prices are established ranging from prices that minimize negative economic regional impacts -social optimal priceto those that internalize totally the environmental costs of water-environmetnal optimal price.

“…Most importantly, the determination of multipliers of tourist expenditure was the major concern constituted one of the most researched issues (Sinclair, 1998). Estimation of the multipliers of tourism was conducted by researchers at state or county level (Bryden, 1973;Archer, Shea and Vane, 1974;Armstrong, Daniel and Francis, 1974;Liu and Var, 1983;Liu, 1986;Fasenmaier et.al., 1989;Teisl and Reiling, 1990;Vilaplana, Pai and Hushak, 1991;Archer, 1995;Andrew, 1997;Martin, 2004) and nation-wide level (Diamond, 1976;Archer, 1985;Ruiz, 1985;Heng and Low, 1990;Khan, Seng, and Cheong, 1990;Kweka, Morrissey, and Blake, 2001;Durbarry, 2002;Crespo and Diaz, 1997;Khan, Phang, and Toh, 1996;Tohamy, 2001). Most of the previous empirical studies adopted input-output technique to evaluate the total economic impact of tourist expenditure and concentrated on estimating multiplier values of tourism for different countries using input-output analysis.…”
