Determinants of Bias Perceptions in South Africa
While objective class dynamics have received much attention in South Africa, less is known about the subjective social positions individuals place themselves in. For example, in a highly unequal society like South Africa, some individuals would overestimate (inflate) or underestimate (deflate) their social position compared to their objective class position. This paper aims to provide further information on status inconsistency in South Africa by…
Determinants of Subjective Social Status in South Africa
Recent studies suggest that South Africa has experienced increased income polarization and is dealing with a struggling middle class. However, with some studies reporting a strong middling tendency, there seems to be a large discrepancy between how people perceive their social position and their actual economic status. Surprisingly, even with the most unequal society label, South Africa has received little attention on the dynamics behind how peo…
Forecasting tourism demand cycles
Forecasting tourism demand taking cyclical patterns into account has gained popularity. The focus has traditionally been on univariate time‐series models, which does not consider the influence of varying elasticities in upswings and downswings. This article aims to fill this void by forecasting tourism demand to five destinations, using a Markov‐switching approach. Rolling forecasts using two variants of the Markov‐Switching model are compared to…
Leads and Lags in African Sovereign Credit Ratings
The majority of sovereign nations have a formal credit rating from more than one credit rating agency in order to bridge the potential informational gap that goes with only one formal rating. This study investigates the behavior of rating agencies to determine if the African sovereign ratings by the three major credit rating agencies are different and if their rating actions have any influence on each other. The lead–lag relationships between the…
