3. Methodology Balancing Act: A triple bottom line account of the Australian economy
3. Methodology An example: Production layers
3. Methodology An example: Structural path analysis
4. Discussion • Potential research question: • How much employment and economic stimulus would an investment into space science generate? • How much environmental impact would an investment into space science cause? • How would space science investment compare with other investments, eg into defense, education, or resource extraction? • Question for discussion: • Would it be a worthwhile exercise to create a Triple Bottom Line profile for space science, just as in the Fed Gov’t’s Balancing Act report?
