We estimate standard growth equations augmented with a variable measuring tourism specialization using instrumental variables techniques for a large cross-section of countries for the period 1980-2002. We introduce an instrument for tourism based on the UNESCO World Heritage List. We find that there is a positive relationship between the extent of tourism specialization and economic growth. An increase of one standard deviation in the share of tourism in exports leads to about 0.5 percentage poi 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/09/176. 606 $aTourism 606 $aEconomic development 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTourism. 615 0$aEconomic development. 676 $a301.24 700 $aArezki$b Rabah$0936180 701 $aCherif$b Reda$0882104 701 $aPiotrowski$b John M$0936181 712 02$aIMF Institute. 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bFiscal Affairs Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464009403321 996 $aTourism specialization and economic development$92108916 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01527nam 2200397 n 450 001 996391045103316 005 20200818225211.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000105558 035 $a(EEBO)2240917043 035 $a(UnM)99855585e 035 $a(UnM)99855585 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000105558 100 $a19920902d1596 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 00$aExamen de ingenios. = The examination of mens wits$b[electronic resource] $eIn which, by discouering the varietie of natures, is shewed for what profession each one is apt, and how far he shall profit therein.
