Abstract

Abstract This paper aims to identify and explore the interlinkages between sustainable tourism research and the study of economics with the goal of identifying main themes and gaps in the economics of sustainable tourism. It contributes to identifying the unique perspective that economics has contributed and can still contribute towards the sustainable tourism discourse. This review article retrieved and analysed 5593 papers using scientometric analysis. The findings indicate that economic theory and/or methods have had a clear influence on some, but not all clusters of sustainable tourism research. Clusters that are dominated by economic theory and methods include economic growth, climate change, the sharing economy and evolutionary framework. Current themes in economics, including migration, declining labour shares and rising inequality have not attracted attention in sustainable tourism research. Additionally, a much clearer focus on inter- and intragenerational effects, shadow prices and dealing with externalities deserves further scrutiny. Gaps also exist in terms of laboratory studies, field experimental studies and the application of behavioural economics. This article also launches the special issue – the Economics of Sustainable Tourism – which includes ten blind-peer-reviewed papers.

经济学对可持续旅游研究的贡献

摘要本文旨在确定和探索可持续旅游研究与经济学研究之间的联系，目的是确定可持续旅游经济学的主要主题和差距。它有助于确定经济学已经为可持续旅游话语做出贡献并仍然可以做出贡献的独特视角。这篇综述文章使用科学计量分析检索并分析了5593篇论文。研究结果表明，经济理论和/或方法对一些但不是所有的可持续旅游研究集群产生了明显的影响。以经济理论和方法为主导的集群包括经济增长、气候变化、共享经济和进化框架。当前经济学的主题，包括移民、劳动力份额下降和不平等加剧，在可持续旅游研究中没有引起注意。此外，更明确地关注代际和代际影响、影子价格和处理外部因素值得进一步审查。在实验室研究、实地实验研究和行为经济学的应用方面也存在差距。这篇文章还推出了特刊《可持续旅游经济学》，其中包括十篇经过同行盲评的论文。
