内容简介:

Using a unique dataset from China, this paper shows that the intensity of epidemic disasters during the country’s last feudal period (1644–1895 AD) has promoted tour-ism businesses’ contemporary performance. Results remain robust when considering geography, institutions, culture, confounding factors, and potential endogeneity bias. Three sources of tourism performance are referenced: business census data from in-dividual travel agencies, visit data at national parks, and tourism revenue data in Chinese prefectures. To explain this complex but apparently uniform finding, we perform causal mediation analysis to demonstrate the importance of the promotional effect by encouraging corporate risk taking with robustness to cultural shocks and fusion. Overall, historical epidemics can be a blessing from risk culture to promote modern tourism performance.
