“…Another field that allows a comparison of the achieved results is the monetization method. We have not used any stated preference method, as [72] do. As [73], we use revealed preference techniques for those outcomes where market values can be determined.…”

Since nonprofits use third-party funds for their activities, they are often perceived as resource managers or spending units, instead of being considered as social wealth generating entities. The aim of this study is to help to overcome this myopic perception by showing how the invisible wealth generated by these organizations can be made visible. We use the SROI methodology to do so, by identifying stakeholders, outcomes (tangible, intangible) and social impacts in a drug addiction treatment centre. The results show that social impact in monetary terms exceeds that of the inputs used, confirming the idea that addiction-based nonprofits are social wealth generating units. The conclusion drawn is that social impact measurement should be widely used as a management tool and a mechanism for reinforcing the social image of nonprofits.

“…For example, in some cases, it is impossible to find out all of the inputs and all of the returns. Based on their observation, Kousky et al recommended, before launching the SROI analysis, that researchers should decide how much resources they could pour into the analysis [12]. There are several theses which analyzed policies on renewable energy and small hydropower.…”

Japanese energy policy had heavily relied on nuclear energy until the Great East Japan Earthquake and the following Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident (called 3.11). However, after 3.11, the Japanese government was forced to change its energy policy and now the government is putting an emphasis on utilizing renewable energy. Among types of renewable energy, small hydropower generation is winning attention because it provides many advantages: first, it is so-called Chisan-Chisho (produced locally and consumed locally) energy; Second, it does not produce any Greenhouse gas such as CO₂; Third, unlike other types of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, small hydro power plants produce energy constantly; Fourth, there is a lot of potential sites for small hydro power plants in Japan; Fifth, small hydro power plants can be run for a long term. This study selected Kyushu Hatsuden, a new corporation in Kagoshima Prefecture established by local firms and influential people to promote small hydropower generation in the prefecture as a case study. This study conducted a socio-economic analysis using several analytical methods. The results of the series of analyses showed that the small hydropower business of Kyushu Hatsuden has a positive impact on the local community.

Para evaluar y comparar proyectos de inversiones, una manera simple de interpretarlo es las ganancias netas de un proyecto divididas por los costos del proyecto.…”

Con el fin de innovar un sistema de producción acuícola que incremente la productividad del agua, se realizó un experimento en una granja acuícola en Saltillo, Coahuila, donde se estableció el cultivo de lechuga bajo un sistema hidropónico denominado raíz flotante, en condiciones de malla sombra y fertilización foliar, se analizaron las variables agronómicas: longitud de raíz, grosor de tallo, altura, peso fresco, numero de hojas, área foliar y diámetro de corona en cuatro tratamientos distintos y se analizaron distintos indicadores de rentabilidad: valor actual neto, tasa interna de retorno (TIR), relación beneficio costo y retorno sobre la inversión, para determinar la factibilidad económica del sistema, por lo que, el objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el rendimiento agronómico y la rentabilidad económica del sistema productivo de lechuga raíz flotante en condiciones de malla sombra y fertilización foliar. Los resultados obtenidos en las variables de rendimiento agronómico mostraron incrementos en altura, peso fresco, número de hojas, área foliar y diámetro de corona en comparación con su testigo absoluto de 41.77%, 113.9%, 30.43%, 155.92% y 22.22% respectivamente. El análisis de rentabilidad económica muestra resultados favorables para la inversión adicional. Esta investigación demuestra la viabilidad económica y una mejora en la productividad agronómica de la lechuga raíz flotante en condiciones de malla sombra y fertilización foliar.
