THE IMPACT OF TOURISM TAXATION: ANALYSIS FOR ROMANIA
No full textIn modern economies, taxes levied by governments are the most important source of government revenue. Like any other economic sector, tourism is taxed, but it also benefits from financial resources from the government. However, given its specificity, taxation implies a different approach in order to stimulate development, as long as any tax increase can lead to higher prices for tourism products. The paper aims to investigate the tax multipliers of tourism and recreational activities and the propagation effect of taxes, using the data provided by the National Institute of Statistics (NIS), applying Input-Output (IO) methodology for the year 2014
ENHANCING VISITOR EXPERIENCE: EXPLORING VIRTUAL PERSPECTIVES IN MUSEUMS
No full textMuseums play an essential role in valorising cultural heritage. As technology advances, museums have evolved from merely displaying collections online or offering virtual tours to providing immersive and interactive experiences. This paper focuses on the activities of museums with virtual capabilities, exploring how they integrate digital experiences to enrich their offerings. It also highlights the key features of virtual museum offerings, emphasising technological solutions and user engagement strategies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
THE ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ON THE ROMANIAN SEASIDE TOURISM
Get PDFKlimatske promjene su jedna od osnovnih briga današnjeg svijeta za koje se smatra da generiraju kako dobitak tako i troškove na raznim ekonomskim i društvenim poljima, npr. u poljoprivredi, šumarstvu, prehrambenoj industriji, turizmu, infrastrukturi, ljudskom zdravlju, naseljima, itd. Procjene stručnjaka ukazuju na to da, općenito govoreći, troškovi uzrokovani klimatskim promjenama premašuju dobitke. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti utjecaj klimatskih promjena na obalni turizam u Rumunjskoj. Koristeći razne višestruke regresijske modele, podaci ukazuju na to da povećanje srednje vrijednosti temperature zraka i trajanje sunčanih dana potiču domaća turistička kretanja prema rumunjskim obalnim destinacijama. Ekonomski učinak klimatske varijabilnosti na turistički sektor je procijenjen uzimajući u obzir različite scenarije analize. Ipak, potrebno je još istraživanja kako bi se analiza proširila uz pomoć veće baze podataka i koristeći empirijsko istraživanje u drugim turističkim destinacijama na koje utječu klimatske promjene.Climate change is one of the major concerns facing the world today, estimated to generate both benefits and costs in various economic and social areas, i.e. agriculture, forestry, food industry, tourism, infrastructure, human health, settlements etc. The estimation of the specialists indicates that, generally, the costs of climate change will exceed the benefits. This paper aims to investigate the climate change impact on the Romanian seaside tourism. Using various multiple regression models, the data indicate that the increase of mean air temperature and sunshine duration stimulate domestic tourist flows to Romanian seaside resorts. The economic impact of climate variability on tourism sector was estimated, considering various scenarios of analysis. However, future research is needed in order to extend the analysis, using a larger data base and applying the empirical investigation on other tourism destinations exposed to climate change
A panel data modeling of international tourism demand:evidences for Romania
No full textThis paper analysis the determinants of international tourism demand for Romania and it quantifies their influences. The authors elaborate two models, a fixed-effects model and the Tobit model, to estimate tourist inflow data from twenty-three European countries, for the period 1997-2008. In the
fixed effects static panel model, we find that GDP per capita, bilateral trade, population, prices are the main determinants of tourism flows to Romania. For the Tobit model, all the variables taken into consideration, GDP per capita, bilateral trade, population, geographical distance, prices are influencing the international tourism demand. Both models indicate that trade, population, and income are more important determinants than relative prices or geographical distance between Romania and countries of origin
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
