ABSTRACT

The number of economics-related articles in the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism (SJHT) has recently increased considerably. Despite this increase, the research efforts of Nordic economists on tourism issues have lagged behind in an international comparison. The recent increase in the number of economics-related publications in SJHT is due to better access to microdata (individual and firm data), the rapid development of statistical and econometric methods and the interest in the causes and effects of the tourism boom in the Nordic countries until recently. This article gives a brief review of the main topics of Nordic economic research that have been studied, as well as potential future research ideas (e.g. short term rentals, rising industry concentration, innovation and ICT) and data sources (big data, social media data, linked data at the micro level and register data) that can be developed and used for future studies. With the COVID-19 pandemic, general uncertainty and government intervention in the tourism sector will lead to a change in travel flows, calling for more quantitative studies. More research based on internationally comparable microdata for several Nordic countries will be particularly helpful.

摘要

最近，《斯堪的纳维亚酒店与旅游杂志》（SJHT）中与经济学相关的文章数量大大增加。尽管有所增加，但北欧经济学家在旅游问题上的研究工作在国际比较中仍然落后。SJHT中与经济相关的出版物的数量最近有所增加，这是由于更好地获取微观数据（个人和公司数据），统计和计量经济学方法的迅速发展以及对北欧旅游业繁荣的原因和影响的兴趣国家直到最近。本文简要回顾了已研究的北欧经济研究的主要主题，以及潜在的未来研究思路（例如短期租金，行业集中度上升，创新和ICT）和数据源（大数据，社交媒体数据） ，可以在微观层次上链接数据并注册数据），这些数据可以开发并用于将来的研究。随着COVID-19大流行，一般的不确定性和政府对旅游部门的干预将导致旅行流量的变化，要求进行更多的定量研究。基于几个北欧国家的国际可比较微观数据进行的更多研究将特别有帮助。
