Wine tourism quality perception and customer satisfaction reliability: the Italian Prosecco District
No full textRecently, we witnessed a growing interest in those tourist experiences that focus on the enhancement and promotion of typical local cultures, in particular related to winemaking traditions. In Italy this evidence is also demonstrated by the emergence of events and tours linked to the promotion of Italian wine. It is therefore necessary to pay particular attention to the degree of satisfaction expressed by visitors with regard to the services currently offered within the framework of their wine tourism experience. The present research applies a study on customer satisfaction in the area of the Prosecco district, in the Veneto Region in Italy. The aim of the paper is to understand, by the use of a mixture model denoted as the Covariate Uniform Binomial Model, whether and to what extent the high degree of quality perceived by respondents depends on factors related to personal experience rather than on the circumstances in which the interviews were conducted. Results show that socio-demographic variables have a great impact on wine tourism behaviour. As a consequence, the possibility of creating segments of consumers based on socio-demographic characteristics and consumer behaviour shows the need to consider different marketing policies to satisfy the different needs of tourists that emerged
Regime-sensitive cointegration: the relationship between gold and silver
No full textThe presence of structural breaks in economic variables is one of the reasons why the cointegration analysis defined by Engle and Granger [4] is not always able to detect the existence of a long run relationship, even when this is supported by the economic theory. In such a view, Granger and Siklos [6] propose the concept of regime-sensitive cointegration.
This paper presents further developments on regime-sensitive
cointegration to investigate about the existence of a stable equilibrium relationship between the price of gold and silver over the period 1971-2004

Identification precision of vulnerability to poverty indexes: does information quantity matter?
Full text linkVulnerability to poverty has been proposed in the literature as an ex ante measure of poverty risk useful for the identification of those who may fall into poverty in the future (Zhang and Guanghua 2008). This paper complements the existing literature on vulnerability measures, by investigating empirically how indexes precision varies according to the quantity of information available, in order to understand which is the best predictor of poverty conditional on data at hand. Using the British Household Panel Survey, we show that information quantity affects differently the predictive power of indexes
