Sustaining life satisfaction and worthwhileness in older age
Adapting to health changes helps sustain wellbeing in later life. Life satisfaction and worthwhileness of life are both monitored by the UK government; worthwhileness is under-researched. Motivated by Selection, Optimisation and Compensation theory, we investigated whether greater diversity of social and leisure activity engagement mediates relationships between self-assessed health and both life satisfaction and worthwhileness. To inform policy …
Leisure Trips to the Natural Environment
This study examines the economic impact (measured by visitor spending) and environmental impact (measured by carbon footprint) of leisure trips to the natural environment. It also investigates the trade-off between them. This research uses survey data from England comprising information about randomly selected leisure trips to the natural environment (n=15,535; 2012-2016). On average, each trip involves visitor spending of GBP 8.57 and a carbon f…

Exploring the contribution of activity sports tourism to same-day visit expenditure and duration
Drawing upon a unique large-scale data source (n=5,004) and motivated by the time allocation model of consumer demand in economics, this paper critically analyses the relationship between the expenditure from, and duration of, same-day visits that comprise a large component of the domestic tourism market in England. It focusses on the contribution of activity sports tourism as a component of same-day visits. Three-stage least squares (3SLS) instr…
The effect of health on social capital; a longitudinal observation study of the UK
Investing in health as an asset can improve the social outcomes of individuals. Increasing the outcomes requires tailoring integrated care systems to ensure that opportunities for social engagement are available to individuals and reflect age groups. Targeting improvements in mental health is required, particularly for younger age groups, to promote social capital. The results suggest the importance of ensuring that opportunity for engagement in …
Sports Participation and Social Capital Formation During Adolescence
Objective National and international policies claim that young people's sports participation improves their social capital. This article is the first to examine if sports participation has a causal effect on social capital formation during adolescence and whether such effects depend on the organizational format or the type of sports practiced. Methods Propensity score matching is employed in the analysis with possible endogeneity removed by explo…

Transforming Economics Through Critical Realism
Retroduction as mixed-methods triangulation in economic research
This paper argues that mixed-methods triangulation can be understood as the manifestation of retroduction, the logic of inference espoused by critical realism. As such, it can provide the basis upon which different insights upon the same phenomenon can be sensibly combined and thus has the potential to unite aspects of different traditions of economic and social thought. In this regard, the paper supports Lawson's view that the exclusive insisten…

Reorienting Economics
Alternative Perspectives on Post-Keynesian Price Theory
We present an overview of recent developments in methodological and epistemological discussion in post-Keynesian work. We use these developments as a basis for judging various contributions to the post-Keynesian literature on pricing, in particular the arguments presented by Lee in recent issues of this journal, whilst acknowledging the positive contribution of Lee's work, we argue that his critique of post-Keynesian pricing theory is flawed and …
Realism, Simulations and Post-Keynesian Pricing Models
Frederic Lee's 1996 reply to our comments Lavoie 1996; Downward & Reynolds 1996 on his paper Lee 1994 are such that we find it necessary to make a common rebuttal. Lee divides his reply into two parts, one where he responds to some of our statements, and another where he puts forth simulations of his multi-sector pricing model. We shall do likewise, responding first to his remarks, and commenting next on his simulations and the claims that he dra…
