University student decisions and mobility under uncertainty in the peripheral region of Sardinia
This paper investigates the influence of a shock and associated uncertainty in the context of higher education in a peripheral region, offering a novel perspective. By using an integrated methodology, based on multivariate Biplot and Combination of Uniform and Shifted Binomial (CUB) models, the study explores how an exogenous event, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, has affected students’ decision-making processes regarding their higher education ch…
The relationship between tourism activity, natural amenities, and second-home development: Insights for Land use planning
Assessing complementarity and substitution effects of cultural events in rural communities: Insights from a Mediterranean island
Previous studies do not systematically investigate complementarity and substitution effects of cultural participation and consumption in rural areas. Fairs, fiestas, and festivals, often performed in rural communities, have a substantial role in economic development. Nowadays, smartphones and the integration of global positioning system technology in mobile phones trace quantitative big data useful for studying complex systems and spaces. The pre…
The Role of Voluntary Environmental Policies Towards Achieving Circularity
Over the last decade, waste management and prevention have become important in the transition towards a circular economy (CE). This study explores how voluntary environmental policies, adopted at a regional level, contribute to green transition from the perspective of the CE. By considering general and region-specific trends in waste management and environmental certifications, we perform a two-step analysis on a panel of 20 Italian regions betwe…
People inflows as a pandemic trigger: Evidence from a quasi-experimental study
Although it has been established that population density can contribute to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, there is no evidence to suggest that economic activities, which imply a significant change in mobility, played a causal role in the unfolding of the pandemic. In this paper, we exploit the particular situation of Sardinia (Italy) in 2020 to examine how changes in mobility due to tourism inflows (a proxy of economic activities) influenced…
Sustainability and authenticity: Are they food risk relievers during the Covid-19 pandemic
Purpose The study jointly investigates sustainability and authenticity concepts in the food context during the COVID-19 outbreak with a fourfold objective: (1) understanding whether sustainability and authenticity are equivalent concepts in consumers' perceptions; (2) advancing knowledge on the role played by them about food frauds' perception; (3) investigating whether these concepts are considered as “risk relievers” by consumers, (4) comparing…
Choosing pictures at an exhibition: Do identity values influence the willingness to pay for art
This paper aims to analyse to what extent the willingness to pay of art gallery visitors for the preservation of cultural artefacts is affected by the identity traits of the objects. To this purpose, we designed a discrete choice experiment that took place during a major exhibition dedicated to the artist Costantino Nivola (1911–1988) in Sassari (Sardinia, Italy). His works are known worldwide and many of them were produced after he moved from Sa…
Together or not? Spill-over effects of cultural goods displacement
The features of some cultural goods allow them to be exhibited in a unified form in one location or separated for display in two or more locations. The aim of the present article is to understand whether the decision to expose a cultural good in two different cities instead of the same location could generate benefits for both. To do so, the case of the Giants of Mont’e Prama is analysed. This recognised heritage complex of archaeological stone s…
Public opinion polarization on immigration in Italy: The role of traditional and digital news media practices
Public opinion polarization on immigration can hinder social cohesion, integration policies and economic growth. Political campaigns and partisan news media systems have long been investigated in terms of potential drivers of mass polarization, often through a focus on one news media. Utilizing survey data collected by the Pew Research Center, the purpose of the present study is twofold: first, to provide insight into the state of polarization of…
Determinants of travellers’ expenditures at airports
This study applies a Double-Hurdle Model to a sample of 2,723 passengers to analyse whether socio-demographics (i.e. gender, age, level of education, income and place of residence), travel-related variables (i.e. type of accommodation and travel party) and flight-related determinants (i.e. check-in mode, wait time) and the pre- intention to buy significantly influence passengers’ shopping behaviours (i.e. to buy or not to buy and the amount of mo…

Understanding museum visitors’ experience: A comparative study
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine museum visitors’ experience. The objective of the research is to explore preferences, behaviour, overall. This study experience and the determinants on repeated visits to two heritage sites. In particular, a more comprehensive regression approach is introduced and employed to compare results at two regional museums. Design/methodology/approach – First, a factor analysis identifies a set of orthogo…
