International Economic Journal, 2025, vol. 39, issue 3, 467-496

Abstract: The increase in tourists may enlarge the range of varieties consumed by tourists and instead reduce that by local residents. We obtain a general condition for this variety-shifting effect occurring and derive some welfare implications. In addition, we examine whether the effect emerges in the models with two specific types of preference, the model with the CES utility function and that with the quasi-linear utility function augmented by quadratic subutility.
