经济理论预测，从发达国家前往商务旅行和电信更便宜、更方便的发展中国家，工资和收入水平将会更高。使用世界旅游组织的数据和两阶段最小二乘法进行的跨国回归分析支持了这一预测。即使在控制了与这些流入相关的对人均 GDP 的其他影响的情况下，从其他国家接收更多商务旅行流入的发展中国家的人均 GDP 水平也较高。还有证据表明，发展中国家政府可以通过投资旅行和通信基础设施来吸引更多来自发达国家的商务旅行流入。
Economic theory predicts that wage and income levels will be higher in those developing countries to which business travel and telecommunication from developed countries is cheaper and easier. Cross-country regression analysis, using data from the World Tourism Organisation and the method of two-stage least squares, supports this prediction. Levels of per capita GDP are higher in those developing countries which receive higher inflows of business travel from other countries, even when controlling for other influences on per capita GDP with which those inflows are correlated. There is also evidence that governments in developing countries can attract higher inflows of business travel from developed countries by investing in travel and communications infrastructure.
