本研究探讨了集聚经济对旅游产业生产率的直接和（间接）空间溢出效应。随着对许多发达经济体旅游业（劳动）生产率持续低下的关切日益增加，迫切需要应对这一生产率挑战。利用英国主要的未充分利用的微观经济面板数据，空间计量经济模型来估计集聚经济对生产率的影响。研究结果表明，集聚经济对特定区域内的生产率产生了显著影响，但也对相邻区域产生了显著的空间溢出效应，这表明生产率趋同的可能性。集聚经济对生产率的竞争和互补效应。
This research investigates the direct and (indirect) spatial spillover effects of agglomeration economies on the productivity of the tourism industry. With increasing concerns about the persistence of low (labour) productivity in tourism across many developed economies, there is an urgent need to address this productivity challenge. Using major under-exploited UK microeconomic panel data, spatial econometric modelling is employed to estimate the effects of agglomeration economies on productivity. Findings reveal the significant effects of agglomeration economies on productivity within a specific region, but also significant spatial spillover effects across neighbouring regions, suggesting the possibility of productivity convergences. Competitive and complementary effects of agglomeration economies on productivity are identified.
