This paper exploits the dynamic panel data cointegration technique to determine the demand elasticity of short term international departures from Australia with respect to changes in income, real exchange rate, migration and the cost of domestic air travel. The data utilised are from 1991 to...

There is a growing number of studies investigating the tourism migration nexus from a theoretical perspective. The empirical literature on the topic however, lags behind. The aim of this paper is to test for the effect of immigration on tourism and to estimate tourism immigration elasticities....

This study uses a system-of-equations approach to model the substitution relationship between Australian domestic and outbound tourism demand. A new price variable based on relative ratios of purchasing power parity index is developed for the substitution analysis. Short-run demand elasticities...

This study examines the relationship between academic seniority and research productivity for a sample of academics at Australian law schools. To measure research productivity we use both publications in top law journals, variously defined, and citation metrics. A feature of the study is that we...

Public scepticism surrounding climate change is an obstacle for implementing climate change mitigation measures in many countries. However, very little is known about: (1) the nature and sources of climate change scepticism; and (2) its influence on preferences for climate change mitigation...

This paper seeks to estimate the causal effects of language proficiency on the earnings and social assimilation of Australian immigrants. Identifying the effects of languages on socio-economic outcomes is inherently difficult, due to the endogeneity of the language skills. This study exploits...

This study aims to identify and examine the potential economic factors that determining the ‘net errors & omissions’ (EO) in balance of payment accounts. Two structural specifications are derived from the balance of payments (BoP) constraint, and open economy macro equilibrium...
