Summary: This paper examines the impact of the shadow economy on citizens' total tourism spending in 84 countries from 1995 to 2017. Panel quantile regression with fixed effects is used as the empirical framework. Furthermore, the study explores the simultaneous effects of the shadow economy on domestic and outbound tourism spending using seemingly unrelated regressions. The findings indicate that the shadow economy reduces total tourism spending, especially in countries with higher levels of travel activities. Additionally, the shadow economy negatively affects domestic and outbound tourism spending globally, with variations in the effects observed among different subsamples. Notably, the shadow economy has a significant positive impact on outbound tourism for upper-middle-income countries after the 2008 global financial crisis.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of institutions, the Internet, and mobile usage on the trade balance of African countries from 2003 to 2017. The findings indicate that the increased use of the Internet and mobile devices has a significant negative impact on total and inter-continental trade balances, but improves intra-African trade balances. Additionally, better institutions are found to have a negative influence on all trade balances, stimulating imports rather than exports. However, an improvement in institutional quality can mitigate the negative effects of Internet and mobile development on African countries' trade balances.
