هزینه های توریست ها در توسکانی و تأثیر آن بر سیستم اقتصادی منطقه ای

In this paper, we analyse the effects of tourists' demand on the economic system of Tuscany using a multiplier model based on the (64x64) regional Social Accounting Matrix 2011. To this end, after identifying the exogenous and endogenous accounts (variables), we obtain endogenous account coefficients and impact multipliers. Evidence exists that tourism activity is well integrated into the regional economic system. Moreover, this activity has a remarkable impact on food production, value added, and households' expenditure. A policy simulation shows that a positive shock in tourists’ expenditure results in an overall positive increase in demand for agriculture and industry products, as well as in an increase in regional value added, and institutional sector activity.
