Abstract

ABSTRACT It has been recognized that cultural institute programs that first started after World War II and aim to improve language familiarity and cultural awareness are beneficial for FDI and trade. We use gravity models to examine the impact from both the German Goethe-Institut and Chinese Confucius Institute (two large-scaled cultural institute programs) on tourism arrivals, a form of international trade. We find a positive impact on tourism arrivals from the Confucius Institute program but a negative impact from the Goethe-Institut program. In addition, both the Goethe-Institut and Confucius Institute programs help to reduce the impact of linguistic distance on international tourism.

文化机构对国际旅游的影响

人们已经认识到，第二次世界大战后开始的旨在提高语言熟悉度和文化意识的文化研究所项目有利于外国直接投资和贸易。我们使用引力模型来检验德国歌德学院和中国孔子学院(两个大型文化学院项目)对旅游人数(一种国际贸易形式)的影响。我们发现孔子学院项目对游客人数有积极影响，而歌德学院项目对游客人数有消极影响。此外，歌德学院和孔子学院项目都有助于减少语言距离对国际旅游的影响。
