Stability and efficiency are two important considerations in deriving good numerical methods for ODEs. The underlying challenge is to increase the stability region while maintaining or even improving efficiency. In this paper, we consider this problem within the context of parallel solution...

This paper examines the effect of tax-funded promotion of inbound tourism on domestic welfare in an open economy setting with increasing returns in the tourism industry. As inbound tourism is a way of extending the market and getting more demand to realize the implication of increasing returns,...

The measurement of economies of scale in the tourism industry has not been done to this point, as tourism is not a specific industry according to international statistical standards. Among many industries related to tourism, four sectors (accommodation, transport, retail trade and recreational...
