Tourism expenditures and crisis transmission: A general equilibrium GVAR analysis with network theory

According to the World Tourism Organization, during the last decades, tourism has become one of the largest and most dynamic economic industries in the world. In this work, we employ a Network General Equilibrium GVAR model to analyze the impact of tourism expenditures on GDP and our approach allows for the existence of dominant economies in the system. The model is estimated simultaneously as a system of equations for a large panel of world economies and the results show that the less developed economies are quite vulnerable to changes in the tourism expenditures of the dominant economies. Meanwhile, USA is found to be largely unaffected by shocks in the tourism expenditures of the less developed economies.     

The eruption of Airbnb in tourist cities: Comparing spatial patterns of hotels and peer-to-peer accommodation in Barcelona

In recent years, what has become known as collaborative consumption has undergone rapid expansion through peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. In the field of tourism, a particularly notable example is that of Airbnb. This article analyses the spatial patterns of Airbnb in Barcelona and compares them with hotels and sightseeing spots. New sources of data, such as Airbnb listings and geolocated photographs are used. Analysis of bivariate spatial autocorrelation reveals a close spatial relationship between Airbnb and hotels, with a marked centre-periphery pattern, although Airbnb predominates around the city's main hotel axis and hotels predominate in some peripheral areas of the city. Another interesting finding is that Airbnb capitalises more on the advantages of proximity to the city's main tourist attractions than does the hotel sector. Multiple regression analysis shows that the factors explaining location are also different for hotels and Airbnb. Finally, it was possible to detect those parts of the city that have seen the greatest increase in pressure from tourism related to Airbnb's recent expansion.     

Technological Progress and Youth Employment in South Korea

ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the extent to which technology progress and youth employment are related. In doing so, we divide workers into two groups – young workers and old (prime-aged) workers - and then estimate the elasticity of substitution between (physical) capital and workers à la Jaimovich et al. (2013. “The Demand for Youth: Explaining Age Differences in the Volatility of Hours.” American Economic Review 103 (7): 3022–3044) by using the Korean labour market data between 2000 and 2014. Our findings indicate that the elasticity of substitution is greater (or at least not smaller) for young workers than for old workers.

股市泡沫循环的公共政策反应

股市泡沫循环对经济会造成负面影响,政府的理性选择是采用公共政策对股市波动做出适当反应.本文在运用内在泡沫模型分析我国股市泡沫形成机理的基础上,把内在泡沫扩展到金融加速子模型中,探求股市泡沫循环对实体经济造成影响的具体机制,并用股票收益率和贷款增长率对金融加速子进行实证检验,进而推导出公共政策工具,且对直接或间接作用于股市的公共政策做出政策评价.     

加入WTO挑战计划经济文化

汇率波动与国际收支及宏观经济关系研究

在当前中美贸易摩擦的国际新形势和人民币汇率双向波动增强背景下,研究并评估汇率波动与国际收支平衡、跨境资金流动之间的相互关系及其对国内宏观经济的影响具有重要意义。本文选择日本、韩国、巴西、中国作为研究样本,通过实证研究分析各国货币汇率波动与国际收支状况、跨境资金流动之间的相互联系,并以此评估汇率波动对我国实体经济变量的影响,为我国继续完善汇率市场化改革与跨境资金宏观审慎管理提出政策建议。
