Hacker and Hatemi-j (2006) symmetric, Hatemi-j (2012) asymmetric causality tests and Hatemi-j (2014) asymmetric impulse-response functions have been employed. Symmetric and asymmetric causality test results suggest that there are causality from tourism demand to informal employment, from negative shock of tourism demand to positive shock of informal employment, from positive shock of tourism demand to negative shock of informal employment and from negative shock of informal employment to positive shock of tourism demand. Asymmetric impulse-response functions show that the directions of asymmetric causality are negative.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessInformal EmploymentTourismSymmetric CausalityAsymmetric CausalityUnit-RootEconomyPhuketSectorLaborArticle1781936WOS:000623917100003N/A
