Children Living with Disabilities and Mothers’ Labor Supply in a Developing Country: Evidence from Argentina
Tourism, exports, and the environmental Kuznets curve: New evidence from Latin America with implications for sustainable tourism
Especialización turística y calidad de vida en las jurisdicciones argentinas
El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar la especialización turística y analizar su relación con la calidad de vida en las jurisdicciones argentinas para el período 2009-2019. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura nacional e internacional en esta temática para identificar una adecuada selección de variables que conceptualicen estos términos, que tengan un fundamento teórico, y que se adapte al caso bajo estudio. La metodología combina el re…
Short- and long-term effects of domestic tourism promotion in Argentina after Covid-19
At the beginning of 2020, the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic in which several countries all around the world closed their borders and established isolation measures. These types of measures, in line with the spread of the virus, mainly affected those sectors where face-to-face interaction and mobility were central, as it was the case in the tourism sector. As a response to this crisis, some countries implemented policies to promote touri…
Brechas en el acceso a la educación de la niñez y adolescencia con discapacidad en Argentina
Uno de cada diez niños, niñas y adolescentes (nnya) en el mundo tienen una discapacidad y este grupo representa uno de los porcentajes más altos de población no escolarizada. Este artículo estima la brecha en el acceso a la educación de los nnya con discapacidad en Argentina a partir de la encuesta de Indicadores Múltiples por Conglomerados (MICS-UNICEF) relevada en el país en 2019-2020. Los resultados indican que los nnya con discapacidad tienen…
A worldwide tourism-extended Environmental Kuznets Curve. New approaches in a comparative analysis
This work aims to empirically study the exogenous impact of the tourism sector on the environment and the validity of the conventional and tourism-extended Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in 69 countries from America, Europe, and Asia-Oceania between 1995 and 2016. We introduce several interesting approaches in our analysis: the consideration of three heterogeneous regions to isolate the relationship between tourism activity and environmental q…
Accessibility in tourist sites in Spain: Does it really matter when choosing a destination
This work aims to analyse and characterise accessibility in tourism —defined as the conditions for people with access needs— and its relationship with tourism performance. Accessibility is a critical concept —to be defined and measured in a rigorous way— that helps shed light on the particularities of the phenomena, considering consumers and producers of tourism. Spain's solid background in accessible tourism portrays the possibility of elaborati…
Quality of Employment Index for the tourism sector in developing countries: The case of Uruguay
Although job quality has become an active field of study over the last two decades in developed countries, it still remains an under discussed concept in developing regions such as Latin America, where the incidence of work informality and low wages are particularly high. As quality of employment is a multidimensional concept and not homogeneously defined in the literature, we follow a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to build a Quality of Empl…
Atributos, puntuación y precios hedónicos en la Provincia de Buenos Aires y Caba: Un análisis basado en Booking y Airbnb
Es un hecho conocido que las tarifas que cobran los alojamientos varían entre sí. Uno de los motivos es que los alojamientos difieren en atributos. Estos atributos incluyen no solo la calidad de la habitación, sino también el acceso a varias instalaciones compartidas, la calidad del servicio y la evaluación que hacen los consumidores. El enfoque de precios hedónicos permite estimar la disposición a pagar por las características del producto (aloj…
Smart or partly smart? Accessibility and innovation policies to assess smartness and competitiveness of destinations
In recent decades, policymakers worked to counteract the adverse effects of tourism on destinations, such as the problems of sustainability, wealth distribution or overtourism, among many other external issues. The answer seems to come from the so-called ‘intelligence’ in the destinations, that is, a necessary renewal to avoid losing competitiveness. In this research, we work on the hypothesis that smart or intelligent solutions applied in Spanis…

Tourism specialisation and education: Leading the way to better labour conditions
This article studies the returns to education in the Argentinian tourism sector considering tourism specialisation. With data from the Permanent Household and Hotel Occupancy Surveys, we make use of Mincer equations to understand the relation between wages and education. For that, we take into account three different types of agglomerates: Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), agglomerates more specialised in tourism (AT) and agglomerates less …
Reformulating the tourism-extended environmental Kuznets curve: A quantile regression analysis under environmental legal conditions
This work aims to empirically study the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in a model that takes into account the tourism sector. We use two novel approaches in this framework: an own developed environmental legal index and an instrumental quantile regression methodology. Our study comprises 18 Latin American countries between 1995 and 2013. We have found that tourism activity causes carbon emissions increases but, because of the restrictions impo…
Spatial distribution of touristic flows in a gravity model in South America
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the determinants of international bilateral tourism demand in countries of Southern Common Market (specifically, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) and Chile. Design/methodology/approach In this study, an augmented gravity model is used to investigate the determinants of international bilateral tourism demand in countries of Southern Common Market. The novel aspect of the analysis is that three models of tourism…
