However, recent research emphasise that there are peripheral areas that perform good or even better than urban areas which leads to the concept of “differential performance” between rural areas which exist in relatively similar conditions related to geography, location, available natural resources, policies, etc. It is obvious that traditional theories related to rural-urban development processes, cannot explain those performance differences of rural areas with similar characteristics. In this study the authors are presenting key aspects of main development theories that can be conected to the development of rural areas. Likewise, they present the model and significant research efforts supporting the theory on the potentials of immobile resources for creating competitive advantages in rural areas and possibility for economic development (also known as Bryden's theory). In this context, immobile resources are including natural, built, human, social and cultural capital.","PeriodicalId":359902,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Research in Economics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130503207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advertising in and around children’s program has a significant influence over their attitudes. The study considers four fundamental attributes that reflect children’s attitudes based on literature survey, namely- unnecessary purchasing behavior, nature of food consumption, materialism and violence, upon which there is influence of TV advertising. Based on a survey on 410 parents of children aged from 5 to 10, the research finds strong association among the variables. Results of ordinary least square regression analysis, employed to estimate the responsiveness of the attributes mentioned earlier towards exposure to advertising, exhibit that child’s unnecessary purchasing is highly responsive to television advertising followed by low nutritional food consumption, materialism and violence, respectively. Furthermore, the research rejects all the null hypotheses stating the absence of relationship between the attributes and exposure to advertising that asserts the positive influence of television commercials on all of those attributes.","PeriodicalId":359902,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Research in Economics","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126477640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
