This article examines the influence of tourism on income inequality on a global sample. Our analysis uses various econometric techniques for panel data including 97 countries over the period 2002–2014 categorized into three subsamples: 30 low- and lower-middle-income economies (LMEs), 25 upper-middle-income economies (UMEs), and 42 high-income econ...
Article
This study examines the influence of domestic tourism on economic vulnerability index (EVI). Domestic tourism spending has a significant effect in reducing EVI. These results are consistent with two sub-indices of EVI (shock index and exposure index). Interestingly, it is found that: (i) this impact is consistent in low- and lower-middle-income cou...

This study quantifies the economic impacts of SARS on the four affected Asian economies (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore) and the most affected Chinese provinces/cities (Beijing, Guangdong, Hebei, and Shanxi) using the synthetic control method with macroeconomic and remote-sensing night-light data. For the four affected economies, we find o...
