The key role of destination characteristics on tourism demand elasticities. A dynamic threshold model
This paper analyses tourism demand elasticity to its main drivers. Unlike previous studies, it postulates that elasticities vary within a country or region. Since the latter typically comprise destinations with different historical, natural and cultural resources, which in turn attracts different segment of tourists, the paper hypotheses that demand elasticities depend on destination type. To test this hypothesis, it analysed tourism demand in Tu…
Protected Areas and the Environmental Kuznets Curve in European countries
Protected areas are a natural instrument for preserving biodiversity and a major defence against climate change. This paper uses an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) perspective to examine the relationship between the percentage of national territory under protection (PA%) and per capita GDP (GDPpc) in European countries. Building on the results of a previous study (Bimonte, 2002) that found a U-shaped relationship between GDPpc and PA%, it explo…
Social scarcity and tourist's life satisfaction
This paper presents the results of an analysis that compared two types of tourists who hold a different view of and interact differently with their surrounding environment. It evidenced that more consumptive and consumer‐oriented tourists are normally less happy than those practising more appreciative and sharing‐oriented activities. To explain the differential, it offers a theoretical interpretation based on the idea that individual choices are …
Life satisfaction in the time of Covid-19. The frog effect
In Virus Veritas Lockdown and Happiness Under Covid-19
It is widely accepted that individual happiness is not, or not solely, related to material possessions, at least once basic needs are fulfilled. It has been demonstrated that interpersonal relationships and social capital matter too, and people whose values are more centred on material possessions have a greater probability of being less happy. Is this still true during the COVID-19 pandemic, when interpersonal relations, health and economic secu…
Tourism development and residents’ well-being
There is now growing empirical evidence that tourism development affects residents’ attitudes to tourism and individuals’ perceived well-being. Building on previous studies, this article wishes to ascertain whether this phenomenon is common to different destinations or is site-specific. To this aim, a propensity score method is implemented. The empirical analysis is based on a two-step survey (pre-, and peak-tourism season) carried out in two sea…
The impact of the introduction of Italian property tax on urban development
Building on and empirically enlarging a previous study on aggregate Italian national data, this article tests whether the introduction of the property tax into the Italian system has dampened construction activity, as proxied by building permits. The latter are also good indicator of regulatory policy and local government behaviour. The heuristic hypothesis put forward in this article is that, because of concomitant favourable market conditions a…
