Abstract
In this study, we focus on tourist expenditure on shopping at travel destinations. As a concrete example, we analyze the dependence of commercial sales in Japan on the number of Chinese visitors and the general consumption index. The dynamics of the relationships are also analyzed. To manage the difficulties in analyzing the dynamics, we construct a set of dynamic regression models involving time-varying coefficients, which are estimated using a Bayesian smoothness priors approach. The empirical study is based on commercial sales data for each retail sector in Japan over the period from 2003.1 to 2017.4.
