Can tourism development and economic growth mutually reinforce in small countries? Evidence from Singapore
This study investigates the causal relationships between international tourism development and the economic growth of a global city–state – Singapore – drilling into the temporal details of the tourism-economy nexus in small countries. Many studies have examined whether the tourism-led growth hypothesis or the economy driven-tourism growth hypothesis holds in large developed and emerging countries. Still, relatively few studies examine small coun…
Rising Income and Wealth Inequality in China
The lack of up-to-date data has hindered recent research on China’s income and wealth inequality. This article fills this void by bringing current official and private data sources looking at these inequalities. The authors further investigate the underlying structural and sectoral policies causing these disparities. They find that the top 1% income share roughly equals that of the bottom 50%. The personal wealth share going to the top 1% exceeds…
Air transport, economic growth, and regional inequality across three Chinese macro-regions
This research considers the effects of air transport on economic growth and asks how airport development affects regional convergence across three Chinese macro-regions. A growing body of research has examined national aviation-growth relationships in developing countries over the last decade. Yet few studies have sought to determine whether air transport boosts regional development, especially in developing and emerging economies. Using a datase…
Region-specific determinants of the foreign direct investment in China
This study revisits region-specific determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Eastern, Central, and Western China using econometric and spatial analyses. It uses a data set covering 31 Chinese provinces and autonomous regions spanning the period 2005-15, together with panel data regression. Our statistical results show that in Eastern China, FDI is significantly associated with bilateral trade, orientation towards the service industry, i…
