... This paper introduces conditional counterfactual quantile decomposition methods to the literature on tourism consumption, where observed expenditure differentials are directly referred to differences in tourists’ targeted utility. Decomposition terms are synthesized with the neoclassical framework of utility‐constrained expenditure minimization, such that their interpretations do not rely on the a ...
... Over the past years, numerous large events have demonstrated how exposed property and even human life are to natural hazards. Protection against natural hazards is therefore a key responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Regions and Tourism (BMLRT).

Despite the greater emphasis on place-based industry specialism and agglomeration, the new strategy suffers from a typical top-down governance approach that has confronted emerging problems. In this paper by using the agglomeration theory we link regional prec ...
