    PART II ROAD NETWORK PLANNING CHAPTER 6 FUTURE SOCIOECONOMIC FRAMEWORK CHAPTER 6 FUTURE SOCIOECONOMIC FRAMEWORK 6.1 DEVELOPMENT POLICY OF SOCIOECONOMIC FRAMEWORK 6.1.1 Consideration on Development Policy of Oman Government At present, the most important Oman Government's long-term development policy is "Oman Vision 2020". The primary aim of the Vision is to maintain at least the current (1995) level of per capita income in real terms, and strive to double it by 2020. In order to move from an economy based on a mono depletable source continuously by external economic and political factors to an economy with varied and renewable sources, it is essential if economic diversification is to be achieved. Quantitative and qualitative indicators for economic diversification are shown in Table 6.1-1. In order to improve the employment situation of Omanis, human resources development is important. The Vision shows the target percentages of employed Omanis in 2020; for the public sector 95%, and for the private sector 75%. For the preparation of future socioeconomic framework, the above-mentioned targets are taken into consideration as much as possible. 6.1.2 Basic Policy and Methodology for Socioeconomic Framework 1) Target Years Year 2000 is adopted as the base year. For future socioeconomic framework, years 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030 are determined as target years. In addition, year 2003 (Census year) is used for the preparation of national level framework. 2) Basic Considerations As the preliminary results of 2003 Census revealed a low growth rate of Omani population, the future sex-age structure of Omani population should be projected in the first place based on assumed future fertility rates.

    1 His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Introduction The development efforts of the Sultanate during the past four decades, since HM Sultan Qaboos assumed the throne in 1970, have led to remarkable achievements in all fronts and fields. During the period which preceded the discovery and export of oil and before the dawn of the Renaissance, the agriculture and fisheries sectors represented the main source of income and the majority of Omanis depended for their living on this sector. Oil discovery and export in 1967 had become one of the most important pillars of Oman’s economy. And despite the development witnessed by the non-oil sector, oil remained the main driver of the development process. An account of the remarkable achievements of the past forty years, under the prudent and wise leadership of HM, reveals that GDP ( Gross Domestic Product) at market prices increased by 170 folds, GDP per capita by 36 folds and the decrease of the relative share of oil activities in GDP to 41% in 2009 compared to 69% in 1970. This reflects the success of the government’s economic diversification strategy. In the field of human development and the progress in education, health, employment and empowerment of women, the Sultanate is positioned among the high human development countries since 2006 and surpassed most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The Sultanate also enjoys a state of political and economic stability, rule of Law, a high degree of transparency of government transactions, economic freedom and a high competitive economy. The Ministry of National Economy has the pleasure to present this booklet in commemoration of the fortieth Anniversary of our Blessed Renaissance.

    Robust Density Power Divergence Estimates for Panel Data Models Arxiv:2108.02408V1 [Stat.ME] 5 Aug 2021

    Robust Density Power Divergence Estimates for Panel Data Models Abhijit Mandal Department of Mathematical Sciences, Univeristy of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, U.S.A. Beste Hamiye Beyaztas Department of Statistics, Istanbul Medeniyet University, Istanbul, Turkey Soutir Bandyopadhyay Department of Applied Mathematics, Statistics Colorado School of Mines, Denver, U.S.A. August 6, 2021 Abstract The panel data regression models have become one of the most widely applied statistical ap- proaches in different fields of research, including social, behavioral, environmental sciences, and econometrics. However, traditional least-squares-based techniques frequently used for panel data models are vulnerable to the adverse effects of the data contamination or outlying observations that may result in biased and inefficient estimates and misleading statistical inference. In this study, we propose a minimum density power divergence estimation procedure for panel data regression models with random effects to achieve robustness against outliers. The robustness, as well as the asymp- totic properties of the proposed estimator, are rigorously established. The finite-sample properties of the proposed method are investigated through an extensive simulation study and an application to climate data in Oman. Our results demonstrate that the proposed estimator exhibits improved performance over some traditional and robust methods in the presence of data contamination. Keywords: Minimum density power divergence; Panel data; Random effects; Robust estimation. 1 Introduction arXiv:2108.02408v1 [stat.ME] 5 Aug 2021 The advancements in applied and methodological researches on panel data have been growing remarkably since the seminal paper of Balestra and Nerlove(1966). Panel data, sometimes referred to as longitudinal data, is multi-dimensional data consisting of observations collected over a period of time on the same set of cross-sectional units.

Roche made important collections of Hymenoptera (Sphecoidea and Apoidea) in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman between 1979 and 1993. An annotated list of their collecting stations is provided in order to facilitate future use of their material. Zusammenfassung In den Jahren zwischen 1979 und 1993 haben J. N. B. Brown, I. L. Hamer und C. G. Roche in Katar, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und in Oman bedeutende Hymenopteren-Kollektionen (Sphecoidea und Apoidea) zusammengetragen. Hier werden Angaben zu den Fundplätzen und dem Sammlungsverbleib kommentiert, um die künftige Auswertung ihres Materials zu erleichtern. Key words Persian Gulf – biodiversity – collectors – deposition of collections Introduction Extensive collections of, chiefl y, aculeate Hymenoptera, were made in Qatar, in the United Arab Emirates and in Oman by the late J. N. B. Brown, by I. L. Hamer and by C. G. Roche while resident in the Gulf. Th ese collections, which comprise some thousands of specimens, constitute an unique and important source of material for work on the regional Sphecoidea and Apoidea. Since they either have been, or it is intended that ultimately they should be, deposited in institutional collections (material held by the present author in the Division of Entomology, University of Kan- sas, Lawrence), it would appear desirable to facilitate their future use by amplifying the labelling of the specimens.
