The paper proposes a new version of spatial shift-share decomposition to improve on the various approaches to conventional shift-share analysis found in the literature. The novelty of our proposal is that it enables researchers to assess spatial competitiveness effects controlling for the influence of industrial specialization at both regional and neighborhood level. This new version is applied to inbound tourism in Italian regions and enables us to identify the best and worst performers. Our empirical results identify favorable scenarios in some areas of the country, such as Sardinia as well as regional advantage in a sizeable number of well-known destinations.

一种新的空间转移-份额分解：对意大利地区旅游竞争力的应用

本文提出了一种新版本的空间位移-份额分解，以改进文献中发现的传统位移-份额分析的各种方法。我们提议的新颖之处在于，它使研究人员能够评估控制区域和社区层面工业专业化影响的空间竞争力效应。这一新版本适用于意大利地区的入境旅游，使我们能够确定表现最好和最差的旅游者。我们的实证结果确定了该国某些地区的有利情景，例如撒丁岛以及大量知名目的地的区域优势。
