Does Tourism Promote Cross‐Border Trade?
估计了亚利桑那州农业企业同时进行跨境贸易和旅游访问的决策模型，发现商务旅游对贸易倾向影响最大，且旅游与公司年龄、地理多样性需求、外语流利度等属性结合时作用更强。
We estimate a simultaneous bivariate qualitative choice model of Arizona agribusiness firms' propensity to trade and visit as a tourist the cross‐border state of Sonora, Mexico. Venture business visits, quantified through the tourism equation, were found to have the largest impact on a firm's propensity to trade. Tourist visits have a greater impact on trade when combined with other firm attributes such as age, perceived need for geographic diversity, foreign language fluency, and firm size, than if considered alone. Our results suggest that there is a role for government agencies to play in overcoming imperfect information related to trade opportunities through facilitating exploratory business venture and tourist visits.
