%T Does Tourism Influence Economic Growth? A Dynamic Panel Data Approach %A Sequeira, Tiago Neves %A Nunes, Paulo Maças %J Applied Economics %N 18 %P 2431-2441 %V 40 %D 2008 %= 2011-04-01T04:13:00Z %~ http://www.peerproject.eu/ %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-241390 %X On Average, tourism-specialized countries grow more than others. This is not consistent with the core of modern economic growth theory that suggests that economic growth is linked to sectors with high-tech intensity and large scale. In this paper, we use appropriate panel data methods to study the relationship between tourism and economic growth. In general we show that tourism is a positive determinant of economic growth both in a broad sample of countries and in a sample of poor countries. However, contrary to previous contributions, tourism is not more relevant in small countries than in a general sample. %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
