“…As observed in the literature review, the results of studies on tourism and the impact of tourist expenditure on poverty are not conclusive. Our findings show that tourism development will not necessarily alleviate poverty in less developed countries, contrary to some previous works (Blake 2008;Rakotondramaro and Andriamasy 2016), even though tourism development contributes to economic growth. They also support the previous findings of Croes (2014a) and N. Kim, Song, and Pyun (2016), who suggested that less-developed countries with higher per capita GDP (above $3,400 for N. Kim, Song, and Pyun 2016), among them the Dominican Republic, will not reap the benefits of poverty alleviation due to tourism development.…”

“…Likewise, in Ghana, the contribution of tourism to the reduction of poverty appeared to be limited (Holden, Sonne, and Novelli 2011). Recently, Rakotondramaro and Andriamasy (2016) concluded that economic growth and the development of tourism have not mitigated poverty in the framework of a less developed country (Madagascar). Although tourism may well favor economic growth, they found that it merely increased the pool of workers on low wages.…”

Tourism represents one of the most important industries in the world and one of the sectors of fastest growth. An understanding of the relation between tourism and poverty is key for poverty reduction in developing countries. The impact of tourism on the reduction of both poverty and inequality in income distribution is analyzed in this paper in the Dominican Republic (within the Caribbean Community of Small Island Developing States). The Ng and Perron test for analyzing time series stationarity and the AutoRegressive Distributed Lag bounds test were used to determine the existence of long-term relationships. The shortrun dynamic models represented by the Error Correction Models were also estimated. The results showed that income from tourism has not alleviated poverty and has clearly failed to reduce inequality in the distribution of wealth. Finally, management implications are also provided for public and private bodies wishing to achieve sustainable tourism.

“…Some studies (Blake, Arbache, Sinclair, & Teles, 2008;Llorca-Rodríguez, García-Fernández & Casas-Jurado, 2020;Njoya, & Seetaram, 2018) have found a positive relationship (tourism improves consumption per capita and hence, reduces poverty) between tourism and poverty alleviation. While, contrastingly other studies have found that tourism has an insignificant (Croes, 2014;Oviedo-García, González-Rodríguez & Vega-Vázquez, 2019;Rakotondramaro & Andriamasy, 2016) and in some cases a negative influence (Bolwell & Weinz, 2008;Croes & Rivera, 2015;Kim et al, 2016) on poverty alleviation. What is evident from the extent of the literature is that predicting the effect of tourism on poverty alleviation is very subjective and country specific (Mahadevan & Suardi, 2017;Zhao & Ritchie, 2007).…”

The tourism-poverty alleviation nexus is becoming an increasingly significant subject of academic inquiry within the tourism economics discourse. Using time series data from the World Bank (1995–2017) in a P-ARDL model, the present study explores the relationship between tourism (receipts from exports, the travel subsector, hospitality and accommodation subsector) and poverty alleviation (final household consumption) with tourism arrivals as the control variable within the context of the BRICS group. The results suggest that receipts from the travel subsector and exports met the a priori expectation – positively influencing poverty alleviation within BRICS nations in the long run. Contrastingly, receipts from the hospitality and accommodation subsector did not meet the a priori expectation of a positive sign, with the results indicating statistical insignificance in the long run. However, receipts from the hospitality and accommodation were found to only influence poverty alleviation in the short run. Relatedly, the results suggest that increases in consumption associated with growth in tourism arrivals did not influence poverty in the BRICS. The results point to the heterogeneity of the influence of tourism on poverty alleviation, whereby certain dimensions of tourism contribute to poverty alleviation in the long run and others do so in the short run. Based on these findings it is recommended that BRICS countries harness their tourism potential and promote intra-BRICS tourism to maximise the positive impact of travel and tourism export receipts on household consumption, which catalyses poverty alleviation.

“…Also, there exists a tremendous amount of literature attempting to detect causality or connection between poverty crises and other events. Rakotondramaro and Andriamasy (2016) investigated the causal links amongst economic growth, tourism development and poverty in Madagascar on the Granger trivariate framework. Their study showed that tourism and economic growth are not enough to reduce local poverty.…”

Poverty is a global problem, and fighting it is a historical task faced by humanity. The outbreak of poverty crises has a certain cyclicality, and the development of economic research may react to poverty cycles. To validate this view, we take the United States as an empirical example and establish a quantitative research architecture based on the bibliometrics and econometrics. In the first place, we conduct a bibliometric analysis of selected search terms relevant to poverty cycles. After that, the time-series data in the actual economy are collected for reflecting the trends and fluctuations in economic activity affected by poverty cycles. Meanwhile, with both bibliometric and economic data, a detrending measure via the band-pass (BP) filter is performed to estimate cycles. Finally, the Granger causality tests are implemented to explore the interaction between poverty cycles and economic research directly. As a supplement, this paper also provides a quantitative evaluation analysis, namely impulse-response functions, to investigate the influence of economic variables on bibliometric ones. The final results show there indeed exists an impact of poverty cycles in economic activity on relevant discussions in the scientific literature.
