Tourism and regional growth: An empirical study of the alternative growth paths for Hawaii - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Moheb Ghali (auth.), Moheb Ghali (eds.) خلاصه: The purpose of this study is to analyze the alternative growth paths open to a region under various policies designed to control the growth oftour­ ism. This is motivated by the current interest of decision-makers in con­ trolling the growth of tourism. Such interest and any policies which emanate from it may prove detrimental unless a thorough understanding of the consequences of these policies are the foundation upon which the decisions are made. The study consists of four parts, each is written by an author or a group of authors. Thus, while the logical sequence of the parts and the feedbacks among them unify the study, the methodology adopted in each is different, reflecting the diversity and dexterity of forecasting techniques in econo­ mics. This variety of techniques is desirable in itself as it exposes the reader to some of the alternative approaches. In chapter 1, the theory of regional growth, and in particular the dis­ tinction between the supply-based and the demand-based models, is dis­ cussed. The role played by natural resource constraints is shown to be absent from both types of models, and it is argued that this role can be investigated by considering the alternative growth paths available to the region through variations in the rate oftuilization of the resource. To ac­ complish that, however, a model of regional growth is needed. The empiri­ cal evidence provided favour a demand-type model. A model of this type is developed and utilized in succeeding parts of the study.
Tourism and Migration: New Relationships between Production and Consumption - Original PDF
Tourism and Migration: New Relationships between Production and Consumption - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Professor Allan M. Williams, Professor C. Michael Hall (auth.), C. Michael Hall, Allan M. Williams (eds.) خلاصه: The origins of this book lie in a project of the International Geographical Union Study Group on the Geography of Sustainable Tourism. The theme, Tourism and migration', reflects the growing interests of tourism geographers - in common with other geographers and social scientists - to reach across traditional cleavages in the way research is undertaken and knowledge is formed. In this instance, the aim was to connect the largely discrete research domains of tourism studies and migration. This was informed not only by awareness of the limitations of disciplinary barriers, but also by the growing need to respond to the emergence of new forms of mobility and circulation, which fitted uncomfortably into many of the analytical categories of tourism and migration studies.

Trading Companies and Travel Knowledge in the Early Modern World - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Aske Laursen Brock, Guido van Meersbergen, Edmond Smith خلاصه: Trading Companies and Travel Knowledge in the Early Modern World explores the links between trade, empire, exploration, and global information transfer during the early modern period. By charting how the leaders, members, employees, and supporters of different trading companies gathered, processed, employed, protected, and divulged intelligence about foreign lands, peoples, and markets, this book throws new light on the internal uses of information by corporate actors and the ways they engaged with, relied on, and supplied various external publics. This ranged from using secret knowledge to beat competitors, to shaping debates about empire, and to forcing Europeans to reassess their understandings of specific environments due to contacts with non-European peoples. Reframing our understanding of trading companies through the lens of travel literature, this volume brings together thirteen experts in the field to facilitate a new understanding of how European corporations and empires were shaped by global webs of information exchange.
Genetic Algorithms and Applications for Stock Trading Optimization - Original PDF
Genetic Algorithms and Applications for Stock Trading Optimization - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Vivek Kapoor, Shubhamoy Dey خلاصه: Genetic algorithms (GAs) are based on Darwin's theory of natural selection and survival of the fittest. They are designed to competently look for solutions to big and multifaceted problems. Genetic algorithms are wide groups of interrelated events with divided steps. Each step has dissimilarities, which leads to a broad range of connected actions. Genetic algorithms are used to improve trading systems, such as to optimize a trading rule or parameters of a predefined multiple indicator market trading system. Genetic Algorithms and Applications for Stock Trading Optimization is a complete reference source to genetic algorithms that explains how they might be used to find trading strategies, as well as their use in search and optimization. It covers the functions of genetic algorithms internally, computer implementation of pseudo-code of genetic algorithms in C++, technical analysis for stock market forecasting, and research outcomes that apply in the stock trading system. This book is ideal for computer scientists, IT specialists, data scientists, managers, executives, professionals, academicians, researchers, graduate-level programs, research programs, and post-graduate students of engineering and science.
