| Abstract: | This study provides a strategy for modelling the effect of the business cycle on tourism demand. Using quarterly data on overnight stays in Italian hotels, both domestic and inbound from 1985 to 2004, a structural time series approach is used to evaluate two alternative models, the 1st with a latent cycle component (LCC) and the 2nd based on specific economic explanatory variables (XCV). The two models are compared as to explanatory power, best-fit, residual diagnostics and forecasting ability. There are found similar performances etc. |
