Cultural effects on inbound tourism into the USA: a gravity approach
Vietze, Christoph - 2008
In this paper we discuss the effects of cultural and particular religious factors on tourist flows into the USA as the world largest tourism destination. To estimate this empirically we run an augmented gravity equation. Our results give evidence that the gravity equation is an adequate...

A non-Bayesian approach to (un)bounded rationality
Güth, Werner - 2007
Can one define and test the hypothesis of (un)bounded rationality in stochastic choice tasks without endorsing Bayesianism? Similar to the state specificity of assets, we rely on state-specific goal formation. In a given choice task, the list of state-specific goal levels is optimal if one...

Prior-free optimality and satisficing: a common framework and its experimental implementation
Güth, Werner - 2008
Similar to welfare economics where with(out) interpersonal comparisons one defines unique (set-valued) welfare (Pareto) optima, we present a framework for one-person decision making where with(out) a prior probability distribution individual optimality prescribes usually a unique (set of)...
