Abstract

Stoeckl N. (2007) Using surveys of business expenditure to draw inferences about the size of regional multipliers: a case-study of tourism in Northern Australia, Regional Studies 41, 917-931. Using data from 429 different tourism enterprises operating in 47 different postcodes across Northern Australia, this paper provides an empirical illustration of a novel 'short-cut' to estimating the size of multipliers associated with specific businesses in rural areas - termed business-level multipliers (BLMs). The estimates are mapped across space and regressed against several variables including: type of enterprise, number of employees and remoteness of region in which the business is operating. The results show that business spending patterns vary more by 'remoteness' than by the type of enterprise. Stoeckl N. (2007) L'emploi des enquetes sur les depenses d'entreprises pour en tirer des conclusions quant a l'importance des multiplicateurs regionaux: etude de cas du tourisme dans l'Australie du Nord, Regional Studies 41, 917-931. A partir des donnees aupres de 429 entreprises de tourisme differentes situees dans 47 codes postaux a travers l'Australie du Nord, cet article cherche a illustrer empiriquement un 'raccourci' original a l'estimation de l'importance des multiplicateurs associes a des entreprises particulieres situees en zone rurale - appeles multiplicateurs d'entreprises (business-level multipliers; BLM). Les estimations sont elaborees dans l'espace et on en fait des regressions par rapport a plusieurs variables, y compris: la categorie d'entreprise, l'effectif, et l'isolement de la region ou est situee l'entreprise. Les resultats montrent que la distribution des depenses d'entreprises varie plus par rapport a 'l'isolement' qu'elle ne le fait par rapport a la categorie d'entreprise.

(2007) Die Nutzung der Erhebungen uber betriebliche Ausgaben zum Schluss auf die Grosse regionaler Multiplikatoren: eine Fallstudie im Bereich des Fremdenverkehrs von Nordaustralien, Regional Studies 41, 917-931. Anhand der Daten von 429 verschiedenen Fremdenverkehrsbetrieben in 47 verschiedenen Postleitzahlgebieten Nordaustraliens liefert dieser Beitrag eine empirische Illustration einer neuartigen ,Abkurzung' zur Schatzung der Grosse der Multiplikatoren von bestimmten Betrieben in landlichen Gebieten - wofur die Bezeichnung ,Multiplikatoren auf Betriebsebene' gewahlt wird. Die Schatzungen werden uber den Raum hinweg abgebildet und anhand mehrerer Variablen zuruckentwickelt, darunter: Art des Betriebes, Anzahl der Mitarbeiter und Abgelegenheit der Region, in welcher der Betrieb tatig ist. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Schwankungen der Ausgabenmuster von Betrieben starker von der Abgelegenheit abhangen als von der Art der Betriebe.

(2007) Conclusiones extraidas a partir de estudios sobre el gasto comercial con respecto al tamano de los multiplicadores regionales: el ejemplo del turismo en el norte de Australia, Regional Studies 41, 917-931. Con ayuda de datos de 429 negocios de turismo en 47 codigos postales diferentes al norte de Australia, en este articulo ilustramos empiricamente un nuevo 'atajo' para calcular el tamano de los multiplicadores vinculados a determinadas sociedades de zonas rurales, lo que se denominan multiplicadores empresariales. Los calculos se localizan en el espacio y se aplican en el analisis de regresion comparado con diferentes variables, entre ellas: tipo de empresa, numero de empleados y distancia de la region en la que funciona el negocio. Los resultados indican que los modelos de gastos empresariales varian mas si en vez de centrarnos en el tipo de negocio tenemos en cuenta el factor 'distancia'.
