Gender Trends in Tourism Destination

The “new mobility turn” sees the holiday experience as “performance”, “surveillance”, “play”, relationships “at-a-distance”, the impermanence of “sandcastles”, place making, etc. Gale (2007) stated five principles of this turn in tourism: it studies the mobility of individuals; it acknowledges material and immaterial structures; it deals with immobility and power relations; it recognizes virtual and imaginative forms of mobility; and it is concerned with environmental and global consequences.

Tribalismo entre los aficionados al fútbol: antecedentes y consecuentes
2019
La época postmodernista ha conllevado importantes cambios en la sociedad, entre ellos, un aumento muy significativo del individualismo, que ha derivado en la fragmentación de la sociedad. Sin embargo, el ser humano -por su naturaleza- tiene la necesidad de socializar con otras personas y pertenecer a distintas comunidades o colectivos. Por ello, en la búsqueda de la reconstrucción de su universo social, el individuo ha utilizado el consumo para poder establecer relaciones sociales con otras personas.

Is personality related to permanent earnings? Evidence using a twin design
2018
Using twin survey combined with register-based panel data on labor market outcomes, the authors examine the association between personality characteristics and long-term earnings among prime working-age individuals. The long-term earnings were measured over the 1990–2008 period. The sample contains 4,642 twin pairs, of which 53% are females. In contrast to previous studies, this paper uses the within-twin dimension of the data to control for shared family background and confounding genetic factors. The results suggest that unobserved genetic differences may introduce omitted variable bias in standard ordinary least square results. After controlling for shared environment and genetic backgro…
