Abstract. Serious haze can cause contaminant diseases that trigger productive labour time by raising mortality and morbidity rates in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Health studies rarely consider macroeconomic impacts of industrial interlinkages while disaster studies seldom involve air pollution and its health consequences. This study adopts a supply-driven input-output model to estimate the economic loss resulting from disease-induced working time reduction across 30 Chinese provinces in 2012 using the most updated Chinese Multiregional Input-Output Table. Results show total economic loss of 398.23 billion Yuan (~1 % of China's GDP in 2012) with the majority comes from Eastern China and Mid-South. Total number of affected labourers amounts at 82.19 million. Cross-regional economic impact analysis indicates that Mid-South, North China and Eastern China entail the majority of regional indirect loss. Indeed, most indirect loss in North China, Northwest and Southwest can be attributed to Manufacturing and Energy in other regions while loss in Eastern China, Mid-South and Northeast largely originate from Coal and Mining in other regions. At the sub-industrial level, most inner-regional loss in North China and Northwest originate from Coal and Mining, in Eastern China and Southwest from Equipment and Energy, and in Mid-South from Metal and Non-metal. These findings highlight the potential role of geographical distance in regional interlinkages and regional heterogeneity in inner- and outer-regional loss due to distinctive regional economic structures and dependences between the North and South.

Economic Impact Analysis

The core of South Africa tourism industry is based on wildlife tourism.  Private game reserves and game farms which forms part of wildlife tourism constitute most of the wildlife products in South Africa.  On these private reserves and game farms, hunting is one of the major income generators for product owners.  The aim of this study is to analyse the economic impact of hunting on the regional economies of three of South Africa’s most important hunting provinces. The study used economic multipliers, input-output analysis, and related modelling processes through input-output (supply-use) tables and social accounting matrices (SAM). The results differed significantly for the three provinces, with Limpopo receiving the biggest impact (R2.6 billion) and the Free State having the highest multiplier (2.08). The geographical location of the game farms, the number of farms per province and the species available all influenced the magnitude of the economic impact of hunters over and above the traditional determinants of economic impact analysis. The implication of the research is that it will help product owners in the development of game farms or hunting products, contribute to policy formulation, especially for government decisions on what products to offer where, and how to create more jobs.

The northern Outer Banks coastal area in North Carolina is well suited to drawing bicycle tourism because of its geography, climate, and attractions. In 2003, the North Carolina Department of Transportation commissioned a study to examine the value of public investment in bicycle facilities that have been constructed in this area over the past 10 years at a cost of approximately $6.7 million. A particular challenge in conducting this study was that tourists visited the Outer Banks for a variety of reasons, not just for cycling. Thus, the collection of information on the amount and nature of bicycling activity and on the spending patterns of bicyclists in the area was critical for the development of an economic impact analysis. Researchers surveyed cyclists using the bicycle facilities (shared-use paths and wide paved shoulders) and obtained data from self-administered surveys of tourists at visitor centers during the primary tourist season. The data collected were then used to determine the economic impact of bicycling visitors to the area. Seventeen percent of tourists to the area reported that they bicycled while there; this translates to 680,000 people annually. The economic impact of bicycling visitors is significant: a conservative annual estimate is $60 million, with 1,407 jobs created or supported per year. This is almost nine times greater than the one-time expenditure required to construct the facilities. Continued investment in bicycle facilities is expected to increase this favorable economic impact and is therefore recommended.

Abstract The exotic Haiyangsuo complex is structurally part of the Sulu belt but its contact relationship with surrounding Sulu gneisses is unexposed and therefore unknown, making its affinity uncertain. It comprises gneisses with in-source leucosomes that host minor metabasite bodies; both are cut by leucogranite dikes. In this study, we determine the timing and petrogenesis of leucosomes and leucogranites and assess the tectonic affinity of the complex based on data from gneisses and metabasites. Most zircon from gneisses and leucosomes has oscillatory-zoned cores with CL-bright overgrowth rims, but some has CL-dark cores or mantles between cores and rims. CL-dark and bright zircon yield weighted mean ages of ca. 1817–1812 Ma. CL-dark zircon has flat heavy rare earth element (HREE) patterns and crystallization temperatures of 829–875 °C, suggesting metamorphic growth, whereas rims have steep HREE patterns but a similar range of crystallization temperatures, suggesting growth from anatectic melt; εHf (t = 1813 Ma) of –18.3 to –10.8 indicates a North China Craton source. Magmatic zircon from metabasites yields ages of ca. 825 Ma, similar to those of scattered metabasite occurrences in the North China Craton. Paleoproterozoic zircon cores were scavenged during magma ascent. By contrast, zircon cores from the leucogranites yield concordant dates of 776–701 Ma, consistent with protolith ages in the Sulu belt, whereas overgrowth mantles and rims yield weighted mean ages of ca. 220 Ma and 162 Ma, respectively. Both mantles and rims host multiphase solid inclusions, representing former melt, suggesting anatexis and crystallization of zircon first during initial decompression and then during orogenic collapse of the Sulu belt; whole-rock Nd and Sr isotope compositions implicate the Sulu belt gneisses as the source of these melts. Our interpretation of these data is that the Haiyangsuo complex has an early geologic history similar to the Jiaobei terrane from the southeastern part of the North China Craton and was incorporated into the Sulu belt during Triassic collision of the Yangtze and North China Cratons. The two stages of melting relate to Upper Triassic early exhumation and Upper Jurassic late-stage orogenic collapse, during which the leucogranite magma was derived from a source similar to one elsewhere in the Sulu belt such as the subducted Yangtze Craton and not the North China Craton. This shows that during continental collisions, crust from the upper plate may be dragged into the subduction channel, deformed, and subsequently exhumed in association with partial melting of the crust.

Mesozoic magmatic rocks are widely distributed in the North China Craton (NCC) and are crucial to understanding the timing, location, and geodynamic mechanisms of lithospheric thinning of the NCC. In this study, we report geochronological, petrogeochemical, and Lu–Hf isotopic data for adakitic granitoids from different parts of Xiuyan pluton in the Liaodong Peninsula, aiming to constrain their magma sources, petrogenesis, and tectonic implications. The adakites are metaluminous to weakly peraluminous and are classified as high-K calc-alkaline I-type granite with Early Cretaceous zircon U–Pb ages of 129–126 Ma. They exhibit adakite-like geochemical characteristics, such as high Sr content and low Yb and Y contents, coupled with high Sr/Y and no pronounced Eu anomalies. They are enriched in Rb, U, and light rare-earth elements and are depleted in Ta, Nb, P, and Ti. The adakites from the eastern part of the pluton have low εHf(t) values (–8.5 to –4.0) with old TDM2 ages (1.57–1.31 Ga), indicating they were derived from the lower crust containing juvenile mantle-derived materials. In contrast, adakites from the northern part of the pluton have lower εHf(t) values (–19.7 to –16.6) with older TDM2 ages (2.21–2.03 Ga), indicating that they were derived mainly from an ancient crust. Our results show that both adakitic magmas were derived from partial melting of delaminated lower crust. Their relatively high MgO and Ni contents and Mg# values indicate that the melts interacted with mantle peridotites. The lower crust delamination beneath the Liaodong Peninsula resulted from paleo-Pacific plate subduction during the Early Cretaceous, which resulted in thinning of Mesozoic crust in the Xiuyan area.
