This study applies surveys of business and household expenditure to draw inferences about the size of regional multipliers to assess the cascading economic impacts of the data-limited Indonesian tropical tuna fishery. The average business-level production multiplier was estimated at around 1.3 across survey respondents, while household-level consumption effects were considerably higher, with the total economic effect roughly three times larger than the production value. A statistical analysis using generalized additive models suggests that there is considerable difference in production multipliers across regions, driven by the individual characteristics of operators, such as revenue/profit, size of the boat, type of gear, and the class of the port where the business is located. This research has the potential to provide a practical management tool to measure flow-on economic impacts of a fishery when information necessary for more formal economic analysis is unavailable, such as for data-limited fisheries or small regional studies.

Given a weighted shift T of multiplicity two, we study the set $\sqrt {T}$ of all square roots of T. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions on the weight sequence so that this set is non-empty. We show that when such conditions are satisfied, $\sqrt {T}$ contains a certain special class of operators. We also obtain a complete description of all operators in $\sqrt {T}$.

We prove stronger variants of a multiplier theorem of Kislyakov. The key ingredients are based on ideas of Kislyakov and the Kahane–Salem–Zygmund inequality. As a by-product, we show various multiplier theorems for spaces of trigonometric polynomials on the n-dimensional torus $\mathbb {T}^n$ or Boolean cubes $\{-1,1\}^N$. Our more abstract approach based on local Banach space theory has the advantage that it allows to consider more general compact abelian groups instead of only the multidimensional torus. As an application, we show that various recent $\ell _1$-multiplier theorems for trigonometric polynomials in several variables or ordinary Dirichlet series may be proved without the Kahane–Salem–Zygmund inequality.

A parameter $c_{0}\in {\mathbb {C}}$ in the family of quadratic polynomials $f_{c}(z)=z^{2}+c$ is a critical point of a period n multiplier if the map $f_{c_{0}}$ has a periodic orbit of period n, whose multiplier, viewed as a locally analytic function of c, has a vanishing derivative at $c=c_{0}$ . We study the accumulation set ${\mathcal X}$ of the critical points of the multipliers as $n\to \infty $ . This study complements the equidistribution result for the critical points of the multipliers that was previously obtained by the authors. In particular, in the current paper, we prove that the accumulation set ${\mathcal X}$ is bounded, connected, and contains the Mandelbrot set as a proper subset. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a parameter outside of the Mandelbrot set to be contained in the accumulation set ${\mathcal X}$ and show that this condition is satisfied for an open set of parameters. Our condition is similar in flavor to one of the conditions that define the Mandelbrot set. As an application, we get that the function that sends c to the Hausdorff dimension of $f_{c}$ does not have critical points outside of the accumulation set ${\mathcal X}$ .

We present a new methodology that uses professional forecasts to estimate the effects of fiscal policy. We use short-term forecasts to better identify exogenous shocks to government spending by controlling for anticipatory information already in the public domain. We use longer-term forecasts to net out expectations from the future path of other variables, which improves accuracy and efficiency by focusing on more precise measures of the impact of shocks. We show that this improves the statistical fit relative to both local projection methods and vector autoregression-based analyses that do not control for the entire future path of expectations.

We study function multipliers between spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disc of the complex plane generated by symmetric sequence spaces. In the case of sequence $\ell ^{p}$ spaces we recover Nikol’skii’s results [‘Spaces and algebras of Toeplitz matrices operating on $\ell ^{p}$’, Sibirsk. Mat. Zh.7 (1966), 146–158].

We define the notion of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$-Carleson measures, where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$ is either a concave growth function or a convex growth function, and provide an equivalent definition. We then characterize $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$-Carleson measures for Bergman–Orlicz spaces and use them to characterize multipliers between Bergman–Orlicz spaces.

A simple characterization of the action of symmetries on conservation laws of partial differential equations is studied by using the general method of conservation law multipliers. This action is used to define symmetry-invariant and symmetry-homogeneous conservation laws. The main results are applied to several examples of physically interest, including the generalized Korteveg-de Vries equation, a non-Newtonian generalization of Burger's equation, the b-family of peakon equations, and the Navier–Stokes equations for compressible, viscous fluids in two dimensions.

We study functions whose time-frequency content are concentrated in a compact region in phase space using time-frequency localization operators as a main tool. We obtain approximation inequalities for such functions using a finite linear combination of eigenfunctions of these operators, as well as a local Gabor system covering the region of interest. These would allow the construction of modified time-frequency dictionaries concentrated in the region.

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. Let ${{A}_{M}}\left( G \right)\,\left( {{A}_{0}}\left( G \right) \right)$ denote the closure of $A\left( G \right)$, the Fourier algebra of $G$ in the space of bounded (completely bounded) multipliers of $A\left( G \right)$. We call a locally compact group $\text{M}$-weakly amenable if ${{A}_{M}}\left( G \right) $ has a bounded approximate identity. We will show that when $G$ is $\text{M}$-weakly amenable, the algebras ${{A}_{M}}\left( G \right) $ and ${{A}_{0}}\left( G \right)$ have properties that are characteristic of the Fourier algebra of an amenable group. Along the way we show that the sets of topologically invariant means associated with these algebras have the same cardinality as those of the Fourier algebra.

In this article we study the Fourier space of a general hypergroup and its multipliers. The main result of this paper characterizes commutative hypergroups whose Fourier space forms a Banach algebra under pointwise product with an equivalent norm. Among those hypergroups whose Fourier space forms a Banach algebra, we identify a subclass for which the Gelfand spectrum of the Fourier algebra is equal to the underlying hypergroup. This subclass includes for instance, Jacobi hypergroups, Bessel-Kingman hypergroups.

In this paper we consider multipliers on the real Hardy space ${{H}_{2\pi }}$. It is known that the Marcinkiewicz and the Hörmander–Mihlin conditions are sufficient for the corresponding trigonometric multiplier to be bounded on $L_{2\pi }^{p},1<p<\infty$. We show among others that the Hörmander– Mihlin condition extends to ${{H}_{2\pi }}$ but the Marcinkiewicz condition does not.

H. O. Kim has shown that contrary to the case of ${{H}^{p}}$-space, the Smirnov class $M$ defined by the radial maximal function is essentially smaller than the classical Smirnov class of the disk. In the paper we show that these two classes have the same corresponding locally convex structure, i.e. they have the same dual spaces and the same Fréchet envelopes. We describe a general form of a continuous linear functional on $M$ and multiplier from $M$ into ${{H}^{p}},\,0\,<\,p\,\le \,\infty $.

We study when the spaces of Lorentz multipliers from ${{L}^{p,t\,}}\to \,{{L}^{p,s}}$ are distinct. Our main interest is the case when $s\,<\,t$, the Lorentz-improving multipliers. We prove, for example, that the space of multipliers which map ${{L}^{p,t\,}}\to \,{{L}^{p,s}}$ is different from those mapping ${{L}^{r,v}}\,\to \,{{L}^{r,u}}$ if either $r\,=\,p$ or ${p}'$ and $1/s\,-\,1/t\,\ne \,1/u\,-\,1/v$, or $r\,\ne \,p$ or ${p}'$. These results are obtained by making careful estimates of the Lorentz multiplier norms of certain linear combinations of Fejer or Dirichlet kernels. For the case when the first indices are different the linear combination we analyze is in the spirit of a Rudin-Shapiro polynomial.

A general lacunary Littlewood-Paley type theorem is proved, which applies in a variety of settings including Jacobi polynomials in [0, 1], SU(2), and the usual classical trigonometric series in [0, 2π). The theoremis used to derive new results for Lp multipliers on SU(2) and Jacobi Lp multipliers.

In the paper we find, for certain values of the parameters, the spaces of multipliers (H(p, q, α), H(s, t, β) and (H(p, q, α), ls), where H(p, q, α) denotes the space of analytic functions on the unit disc such that . As corollaries we recover some new results about multipliers on Bergman spaces and Hardy spaces.

In this paper we generalize the Mellin multiplier theorem we proved earlier [8] to spaces with quite general weights, satisfying an Ap-type condition. Applications are made to the Hilbert transformation.
