My qualifications
ResearchResearch interests
- Tourism demand modelling and forecasting
- Spatial econometric methods in tourism research
- Destination competitiveness and resilience
- Tourism economics
Research projects
This project aims to develop a state-of-the-art spatial econometric method which pools all destinations in Asia to measure direct, indirect and total spillover effects across destinations. As a methodological advancement, the global vector autoregressive model will be integrated into the spatial model to further generate direct and indirect effects in response to shocks to certain destinations through impulse response analysis. Impulse response analysis will be conducted for policy simulations in the post-Covid era specifically to examine how potential economic shocks in the post-Covid era will affect the whole system and Hong Kong in particular.
This project is funded by The General Research Fund of Hong Kong Research Grants Council with an amount of £30,700.
