This paper proposes a novel regularisation method for the estimation of large covariance matrices, which makes use of insights from the multiple testing literature. The method tests the statistical significance of individual pair-wise correlations and sets to zero those elements that are not...

We estimate exchange rate elasticities of international tourism. We show that, in addition to the bilateral exchange … rate, the exchange rate between the tourism origin country vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar is an important driver of tourism … flows, indicating a strong role of U.S. dollar pricing. The U.S. dollar exchange rate is more important for tourism …
