On tourism innovation and economic growth : based on spatial panel data models

Abstract

本文运用空间面板数据模型,选用1998~2009年数据研究了中国省域旅游创新与旅游经济增长的关系,发现:中国省域旅游创新与旅游经济增长呈现显著空间集聚性;旅游创新不仅推动当地旅游经济的增长,还通过空间传导机制对邻近区域的旅游经济产生正向的溢出效应。说明应充分重视创新在旅游经济增长中的积极作用,通过旅游创新成果的溢出效应扩大旅游创新对旅游经济增长的作用程度和范围。 This paper adopts spatial panel data model and the data collected from 1998 to 2009 to analyse the relationships of tourism innovation and economic growth.The result shows that:tourism innovation and economic growth show a distinct spatial dependence;tourism innovation not only promotes the local tourism economy,but also has a positive economic spill-over effect on neighbour regions through the transmission mechanism.The result indicates that we should realize the role of tourism innovation in promoting tourism economic growth,and make full use of the spill-over effects to expand the role of tourism innovation in promoting tourism economic growth.
