摘要:

经济学代表了一种研究经济行为和现象的分析方法或框架。要做好旅游经济学研究,研究者必须真正深入研究旅游现象的特点和事实,从现象背后归纳、抽象出能够解释旅游实际问题的理论。经济学分析框架是被研究者广泛接受的研究和分析范式,一般由视角、参照系和分析工具等组成。在实证研究过程中,上述范式体现为模型、数据和变量等维度。鉴于经济学理论在旅游情境中的适用性限制,在使用有关经济学理论和经济学方法进行旅游研究时,需要保持必要的谨慎,紧密结合旅游业具体实际进行创新,以不断推进旅游经济学的发展。

Abstract:

Economics provides methods or frameworks to analyze economic behavior or phenomenon. In order to conduct tourism economic research, researchers should understand the tourism phenomenon or facts comprehensively at first. And then, they should construct appropriate theory based on tourism phenomenon or facts. These theories will become the part of tourism theory system. As a widely accepted analysis paradigm, economics frameworks contain such parts as perspective, frame of reference and analysis instruments. In the empirical research, the above mentioned analysis paradigm takes the forms of model, data and variables etc. Data cannot speak for itself. The empirical analysis based on econometrics can not only expand the tourism research perspectives, but also drive researchers to explore the mechanism or story behind tourism data. These related researchers’ efforts will inevitably promote the development of tourism economics.Currently, research of tourism economics in China is still at the beginning stage, and there are very few studies over this subject. So, researchers should find more support from original disciplines, and get more nutrient from parent disciplines. The discipline of economics can provide divers and effective theory and method for tourism economic research. We should conduct tourism economic research in the framework of economics. This is not only the development stage of tourism economics, but also an important career development path for related researchers. However, considering the applicability of economic theory in the tourism economics context, researchers should remain cautious when they use economic theories or methods to conduct tourism research. Researchers should make continuous theory innovations based on the tourism practice, which can promote the tourism economics substantially.
