Causalidad entre turismo y crecimiento económico de largo plazo: una revisión crítica de la literatura econométrica

This work contains a critical review of main econometric studies that have addressed the analysis of causality between tourism and long-term economic growth. These studies have employed a variety of methodologies, models such as VAR, VECM, ARDL, ARCH, GARCH, cross section and panel data.

Additionally, the study shows that the values of the elasticity of economic growth from tourism are significant different between countries
