Economic Impacts. FTAs can also have a significant impact on the economic development of the signatory countries. If an FTA is entered into between nations that are in different stages of economic development, and as a result the trade barriers are abolished, the nation in the lower stages of development may lose its ability to adopt trade measures for the protection and development of its own industries. This would entrench the existing industrial structure of that nation at the time when the FTA was entered into, making it harder for the nation to develop industries in which the other trading partner nation had an advantage.60 On the other hand, an argument has been made that the opposite effect may be likely, in that the FTA may facilitate structural changes. The latter argument seems to highlight that the signatory country may develop industries in which it has a competitive advantage, but this argument tends to disregard the critical possibility that the FTA may eliminate the potential for nurturing a competitive advantage in industries that are not initially competitive vis-à- vis their foreign counterparts by taking away the ability of the domestic government to adopt trade-related industrial policies to protect such industries. If such industries are exposed to full competition by superior foreign industries as a result of acceding to an FTA, future development of these industries would be very difficult. For example, if the Korean automobile market had been open to foreign imports, as it is now, with little or no trade barriers during the 1960s and the 1970s, when the Korean automobile industry was in its incipient stage and, therefore, substantially weaker than those of Japan or the United States, Korean automobiles would have been unable to compete with the superior foreign-made automobiles as they do now. The revenue base of the Korean automobile industry 59 See Xxxx Xxx, Policy Statement, FTA, XXXXX FTA, and Challenges of the Labor Movement (Aug. 31, 2006) [hereinafter Xxx, Challenges], available at xxxx://xxxx.xxx/? module=file&act=procFileDownload&file_srl=3267&sid=d8ca1ababfffd479bbd440605527 dd01 (explaining, from Xxx Xxxx’x vantage as Deputy Director at the Policy Department of the Federation of Korea Trade Unions [FKTU], the meaning of core provisions of the Korea-U.S. FTA as well as reasons for which “it is so problematic” and its consequences for organized labor). 60 See Xxx, FDI, supra note 39, at 704–08 (citing Xx-Xxxx Xxxxx’x study which demonstrates...

Economic Impacts. Despite any shortfalls in GLWQA, the Agreement still has a significant economic impact. Firstly, the environment both directly and indirectly affects the economy; areas with higher water quality have higher values for recreation, which results in increased property value. Water quality also has an impact on human health, which directly affects the economy (B.5). Major recreation industries like boating and fishing are also dependent on water quality; one year, algal blooms in Lake Erie caused charter boats to lose 20% of their business (A.5). Therefore, the GLWQA, which ensures higher water quality, has a positive effect on the economy. Also, SAB investigations study how upcoming issues under the scope of the GLWQA, like climate change, might lead to increased costs and economic impact (Science Advisory Board). However, some economic issues dependent on the Great Lakes remain outside of the GLWQA’s scope, notably regulations on oil pipelines like Enbridge Line 5, which passes under the Great Lakes (A.5).
Economic Impacts. Does the alternative have a positive economic impact on existing uses in the corridor? Current trends would continue or respond to changes in the market. (See Workbook 3, Appendix A) Does the alternative have a positive economic impact on future retail development in the corridor? Current trends would continue with retail uses likely to continue to dominate the corridor. (See Workbook 3, Appendix A) Criteria Zoning Proposal Does the alternative have a positive economic impact on future office development in the corridor? Current trends would continue with some Class B office developing on sites generally less well-suited for retail. (See Workbook 3, Appendix A) Does the alternative have a positive impact on when retail uses are likely to develop/redevelop? Current trends would continue with retail development and re-development happening incrementally. (See Workbook 3, Appendix A) Does the alternative have a positive impact on when office uses are likely to develop/redevelop? Current trends would continue with office development and re-development happening incrementally. (See Workbook 3, Appendix A) Does the alternative provide sufficient land for market choices? The existing zoning provides for the widest range of uses with very few size restrictions. However, the corridor has very few large vacant parcels left that would well-suited to large-scale retail and similar uses. (See Workbook 3, Appendix A)
Economic Impacts. Each of the County Entities will refund to Monsanto the PILOT Fee paid to that Public Entity for each tax year during the PILOT Fee Forgiveness Period (as that term is defined below) if, and only if, Monsanto demonstrates that it met the conditions applicable to that year as set forth in Exhibit A. The refunds will not include the PILOT Fee for the State Equalization and Fire District Assistance Taxes.

Economic Impacts. In addition to programs and services, the final rule clarifies that recipients may use funds for capital expenditures that support an eligible COVID–19 public health or economic response. For example, recipients may build certain affordable housing, childcare facilities, schools, hospitals, and other projects consistent with the requirements in this final rule and the Supplementary Information. In addition, the final rule presumes that an expanded set of households and communities are ‘‘impacted’’ or ‘‘disproportionately impacted’’ by the pandemic, thereby allowing recipients to provide responses to a broad set of households and entities without requiring additional analysis. Further, the final rule provides a broader set of enumerated eligible uses available for these communities as part of COVID–19 public health and economic response, including making affordable housing, childcare, and early learning services eligible in all impacted communities and making certain community development and neighborhood revitalization activities eligible for disproportionately impacted communities. Further, the final rule allows for a broader set of uses to restore and support government employment, including hiring above a recipient’s pre- pandemic baseline, providing funds to employees that experienced pay cuts or furloughs, avoiding layoffs, and providing retention incentives. • Premium Pay: The final rule offers more streamlined options to provide premium pay, by broadening the share of essential workers who can receive premium pay without a written justification while maintaining a focus on lower-income and frontline essential workers.
Economic Impacts. Revenue generation through improved land use practices and sustainable natural resource use, especially through proper use of allocated wildlife quotas will benefit the target villages of the WMAs, the Districts and the Wildlife Division. • Job creation through the establishment of the WMAs: 180 village scouts, 50 rangers (mobile units, Ruvuma Station and magazine Rangers), minimum of 50 families involved in fish pond pilot project. • Economic spin off effects from new employment opportunities. • Improved livelihood of the rural poor through capacity development, especially in the agricultural and forestry sector (communal forests and participatory forest management and beekeeping improvement).
Economic Impacts. The City and each of the County Entities will refund to Operator the PILOT Fee paid to that Public Entity for each calendar year during the PILOT Fee Forgiveness Period (as that term is defined below) if, and only if, Operator demonstrates that it met the conditions applicable to that year as set forth in Exhibit B. The refunds will not include the PILOT Fee for the State Equalization and Fire District Assistance Taxes.

Economic Impacts. Xxx-xxxxx noted that the Project would have immense economic impacts on First Nations as they would suffer exclusion from the country and from sharing in the wealth of the land; • Maa-nulth hope that conversation with the Crown starts to address this issue and helps ensure growth in the political power of Maa-nulth to have a say in decisions affecting them or their lands and waters; • Maa-nulth stated that they are concerned about damage to fishing vessels and gear from increased marine vessel traffic, leading to loss of income from commercial fishing; and • Xxx-xxxxx stated that First Nations have not benefited from the historical relationship with the Crown; rather, they have been disadvantaged. Xxx-xxxxx stated that there have been numerous consequences of this, including political disempowerment and economic disempowerment.
