Low-cost carriers means low-cost tourists? Exploring the expenditure patterns beyond airline ticket prices
This paper investigates the relationship between air travel and international tourism expenditure, with a focus on distinguishing the impacts of low-cost carriers (LCCs) and full-service carriers (FSCs). Leveraging a unique dataset of 407,116 individual-level observations from the Bank of Italy’s survey on international tourists in Italy (2013–2019), combined with seat capacity data from the Official Airline Guide (OAG), we analyze spending behav…
Health hazard discrimination or prejudice? A correspondence experiment in Italy
Shows how disease threats trigger discriminatory behavior. • Assesses COVID-19’s effect on tourism in Italy. • Northern surnames received 5% fewer replies in a correspondence experiment. • Bias reflects prejudice, not rational infection screening. • Offers policy insights to curb stigma and improve efficiency in epidemic response. We study how infectious-disease threats can spill over into discriminatory behavior. Using early COVID-19 in Italy as…
Work from home arrangements and organizational performance in Italian SMEs
We use survey data on Italian small- and medium-sized enterprises collected during the COVID-19 pandemic to explore the relationship between the adoption of work from home (WFH) practices and organizational performance. In so doing, we investigate several dimensions of organizational performance, including measures of labor productivity and workers’ concentration and motivation, the level of absenteeism, the organization of work through managemen…
Air connectivity and spatial effects
The paper studies the determinants of air connectivity in European regions. It takes into account the spatial effects among regions, the different regional characteristics in terms of importance and the impact of the two main airline business models: low-cost carriers and full-service carries. In order to investigate these effects, a spatial econometric model is designed to estimate the determinants of different measures of air connectivity and a…
