This study utilizes panel data as a means of examining the determinants foreign direct investment (FDI) in Spain. Data that are taken period 1993–2002 used order to estimate FDI, at sectoral level, by differentiating manufacturing sectors, and regional level. The analysis investigates sectoral, macroeconomic variables have successfully attracted FDI inflows from those not. Empirical results suggest differential between labour productivity cost has been an important determinant Spain during...

This paper is a study of rural tourism demand in Galicia by means panel data. The dependent variable used the number overnight stays. Empirical results suggest that stays establishments depends basically on economic determinants, such as price services establishments, extent transport (travel) costs and cycle (tourists' income). income exhibits highest elasticity. Besides influence mainly reputation (prestige) peculiarities each establishment. In light these results, conclusions are drawn...

After an explanation of the term ‘academic tourism’, authors analyse positive economic impact academic tourism in Galicia, distinguishing between direct and indirect impacts. For empirical application, expenditure survey was carried out input–output technique used. The results demonstrate that, owing to its characteristics, has a greater than conventional tourism. In light these results, policy implications are discussed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate and analyse the technical efficiency (TE) component productivity for a sample winegrowers from Douro Demarcated Region in Portugal. Design/methodology/approach data were collected through face-to-face surveys includes 110 farmers’ vineyards with specific input-output information other about production systems during year 2017. authors use two-stage envelopment analysis using bootstrap techniques obtain TE scores examine determinants its...

The main objective of this paper is to decompose the productivity growth Egyptian cotton production. We employ stochastic frontier approach and changes in total factor (CTFP) into four components: technical progress (TP), scale component (CSC), allocative efficiency (CAE), (CTE). Considering a situation scarce statistical information, we propose alternative empirical models, with purpose looking for convergence results. results provide evidence that production system does not increase, which...

The degree of capacity utilization affects the measurement total productivity. This paper uses establishment occupancy level as a proxy for utilization. Accordingly, authors decompose factor productivity (TFP) growth into technical progress, changes in allocative efficiency, levels, efficiency and scale effects. empirical results show that component offers most important contribution to TFP. Policy implications are offered light results.

There is evidence that increasing the Length of Stay (LOS) contributes to sustainability destinations. This paper analyzes LOS determinants in Schist Villages Network (SVN) Portugal, where almost half visitors are same-day visitors. Given these generate more environmental impacts, an increase would help guide tourism towards sustainable standards. The analysis was performed using several Heckman selection models. Unlike findings previous studies, depended mainly on characteristics trip and...

Portugal is a country traditionally dedicated to viticulture and characterized by the production of wines high quality. However, although it continues be major player in world, both extension vineyards wine, certain that recent years have lost market share these areas. In this context, interesting analyze if situation could related level productive efficiency vineyards.
 Therefore, aims study are analyse farms efficiently allocating resources achieve maximum identify characteristics...

The adoption of a sustainable approach has been recognized as competitive and resilience factor for the vine wine sector. This research aimed to address variables that explain sustainability viticultural systems practiced in Douro Demarcated Region, dimensional global perspective sustainability. In total 110 vineyard farms were randomly selected matrix indicators grouped by economic, environmental social dimension was used. order analyse main determinants different dimensions sustainability,...

ABSTRACT This study analyzes jointly the effects of various types crises on tourism demand in 17 territories within Spain and how they affect distinct strands tourism. Three very different are considered: Great Recession, Arab Spring, COVID‐19 pandemic. paper proposes an objective classification Spanish provinces that considers importance activity. The impacts analyzed compared with those obtained from a based geographical location provinces. We carry out by estimating dynamic panel data...

The level of milk quota for farm and the transfer among producers play are principal factors in Spain producer sector adjustment. This paper presents an estimation value, capitalization value 2006 year horizon make concrete some determinant value. Estimates derive from a sample 32 Galician dairy farms years 1990-1999, results this is possible deduce conclusions about functioning market management policy.

While scientific studies have not reached a consensus on the methodology for examining Technical Efficiency (or Inefficiency), influence of regions appears to be important efficiency scores. Therefore, this research aims investigate empirical procedures achievement more robust results in analysis productive efficiency, as well evaluate effect location farms such efficiency. The goal was check whether most developed are efficient. Meta-regression provides an adequate method accurate...
