Barriers To Health Care Access For Refugees In Cache County, Utah, Michael Timo Hoggard
Barriers To Health Care Access For Refugees In Cache County, Utah, Michael Timo Hoggard
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
The United States has a rich history of resettling refugees. The United States resettled hundreds of thousands of refugees at the conclusion of World War II, and has resettled more than 3 million refugees since 1975 (Refugee Council USA, 2016). A refugee is a forcibly displaced person who will not or cannot return to their country of origin because of fear of physical harm or persecution (United Nations, 1951).

Exploring The Relationship Between Utah's Wages And Utah's Real Estate Values, S. Scott Laneri
Exploring The Relationship Between Utah's Wages And Utah's Real Estate Values, S. Scott Laneri
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
This paper uses a variety of multiple regression analysis techniques to attempt to answer whether a direct relationship exists between Utah's employee wages and Utah's residential real estate values. Unexpected declines in real estate values can have seriously negative impacts on businesses, individuals, and local governments in Utah. Conversely, unexpected increases represent missed opportunities. Researchers have used various statistical and mathematical methods to explain or predict changes in real estate values, but no method has consistently predicted values for a long period of time or across multiple geographical areas. This paper focuses on exploring the relationship between variables in Utah …

Some Economic Aspects Of Beef Crossbreeding In Utah, William L. Beaty
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine empirically if crossbreeding offers a more profitable alternative to Utah cattlemen than straightbreeding. Ranchers practicing breed crossing were interviewed to determine the relative merits of crossbreeding and straightbreeding in the categories of calf crop, weaning weight, sale price, and minor economic factors under ranch conditions. Crossbred and straightbred sale prices were analyzed utilizing the records of the Smithfield Livestock Auction.
Analysis of rancher interview data indicated that crossbred animals exceeded straightbreds in weaning weight and sale price. Crossbreds were further credited with lowering herd disease levels. No generalizations from comparative calf crop …
Economic Analysis Of Cache County, Utah: An Input-Output Approach, Jose Isaac Torrico Soria
Economic Analysis Of Cache County, Utah: An Input-Output Approach, Jose Isaac Torrico Soria
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the theory of input-output analysis, its applications, and its empirical implementations to the Cache County economy. The historical development, the static open input-output model, and the dynamic input-output analysis are presented in the theoretical discussion, and emphasis is made on the empirical applications of the model to structural analysis, forecasting, developmental planning, and regional analysis.
In the empirical implementation of the model to the Cache County economy, the 1971 total output is estimated, the Cache County total output is projected to 1981, the output and income multipliers are computed, and the total …
