Abstract: | It is shown that specialisation may not be deleterious for economic welfare once the terms of trade are considered. Conditions for an improvement in welfare are laid out and their existence tested by econometric methods within an almost ideal demand system formulation of tourist expenditure for 13 OECD economies. The values of the estimated parameters suggest that long run growth may not be harmed by tourism specialisation. |
