Econometric Evidence for Satiation of Subjective Well‐Being With Income at the Aggregate Level in Europe
The Easterlin paradox explores the link between subjective well‐being (SWB) and income, questioning if a saturation point exists where more income no longer boosts SWB. In the literature, the studies dealing with a saturation point of SWB at the cross‐sectional level are ambiguous. The results of this study provide evidence for its existence. The EU‐SILC data are used to test for satiation by means of kink regressions and generalized additive mod…
Unobserved Heterogeneity in the Cognitive Facet of Subjective Well-Being
Subjective well-being (SWB) is central to assessing societal prosperity. Key cognitive indicators of SWB include perceived overall life satisfaction (LS) and domain-specific satisfactions, such as satisfaction with one’s financial situation. The present study uses cross-sectional EU-SILC data to investigate the unobserved heterogeneity in the relationships between LS and its various domain-specific satisfactions. The dataset includes items measur…
Drive Them to Rail—How Can Tourist Destinations Increase the Market Share of Rail Travel? A Discrete Choice Experiment
Mobility accounts for the largest share of CO 2 emissions generated by tourism industry. The extent of CO 2 resulting from tourists' long‐distance travel depends strongly on the transport mode used. To reduce these emissions, destinations should engage in promoting a shift from flying and driving to traveling on rail. This study hypothesizes that the entire mobility chain, that is, long‐distance travel and mobility at destination, represents an i…
Seasonality matters
Climate change represents a serious challenge for winter tourism. Its economic and managerial impacts will differ between season periods due to the seasonality of snow availability and tourism demand. Therefore, the interaction of these two types of seasonality has to be modelled. With a novel approach including seasonality of demand, timing of marginal snow conditions, individual preferences and skiing frequency, we simulate impacts of altered s…
How suitable are discrete choice experiments based on landscape indicators for estimating landscape preferences
Appealing landscapes contribute to human well-being, but landscape changes require the attention of management and planning. Although aesthetic landscape values are increasingly addressed in the context of cultural ecosystem services, their assessment is particularly challenging due to the subjectivity of landscape preferences. To map aesthetic landscape values across landscapes, discrete choice experiments in combination with landscape indicator…

What drives total factor productivity growth? An examination of spillover effects
This study analyses the role of regional characteristics, particularly regional knowledge spillovers, as drivers of total factor productivity (TFP) growth in 190 European regions. A new modelling approach for knowledge spillovers that is different from the commonly used neighbourhood matrices is proposed. Therefore, by estimating the impact of drivers on TFP growth, findings reveal a strong direct effect of TFP spillovers alongside factors such a…

A protected area between subsistence and development
Conserving nature and managing protected areas are fraught with risks, especially when done against the preferences of local communities. The relative dependency of local communities on ecosystem services, perceptions of the economic potential of a protected area by the local population, and the belief that the locals will share in the potential benefits of the protected area determine whether the protected area will be opposed, tolerated or supp…

Multivariate Stochastic Volatility via Wishart Processes
This comment refers to an error in the methodology for estimating the parameters of the model developed by Philipov and Glickman for modeling multivariate stochastic volatility via Wishart processes. For estimation they used Bayesian techniques. The derived expressions for the full conditionals of the model parameters as well as the expression for the acceptance ratio of the covariance matrix are erroneous. In this erratum all necessary formulae …
The Learning Region
Hauser C., Tappeiner G. and Walde J. (2007) The learning region: the impact of social capital and weak ties on innovation, Regional Studies 41, 75–88. Theories that emphasize the role of proximity and tacit knowledge in innovation processes highlight the importance of social interaction and networking for the diffusion of knowledge. A concept that captures the impact of human relations on economic activity is social capital. Using factorial analy…
Selected Aspects of Agro-structural Change within the Alps
La région couverte par la Convention alpine a connu un recul important des exploitations agricoles (– 40 %) entre 1980 et 2000. Des régions stables (Autriche, Suisse) côtoient des régions profondément transformées (Italie, Slovénie). Les modifications agrostructurelles ont conduit à des bouleversements majeurs dans les structures de fonctionnement (agrandissement des exploitations, abandon de surface agricole utile, partages diversifiés des types…

The Stability of Rankings Derived From Composite Indicators
The Classification of Rural Areas in the European Context
The reform of the European Structural Funds requires a classification of rural areas according to their level of economic development. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a tool that potentially offers advantages compared to classical classification methods. This paper analyses the strengths and weaknesses of an approach, proposed by Blunden et al. , 1998. It tries to generalize the conditions necessary to realize the potential of the ANNs for …
