In doing so, an algorithm falling into the category of dictionary-based approaches to study emotions contained in written text was developed and applied. Not only are the overall polarity and the single emotions contained in Instagram posts within Vienna investigated, but also the top 54 Viennese Instagram locations. A particular novelty of this study is the measurement of longitudinal developments from emotive text and the fine-grained analysis of single emotions in addition to the overall polarity. One crucial empirical result of the study is that more experience and self-confidence in Instagram posting, as well as increasing expectations, seem to result in becoming a more critical poster over time. Companies interested in the use of influencer marketing to promote their products and services via Instagram should take this finding into consideration in order to be successful.Publication Are Combined Tourism Forecasts Better at Minimizing Forecasting Errors?(2020-01-01) Gunter, Ulrich; Önder, Irem; Smeral, EgonThis study, which was contracted by the European Commission and is geared towards easy replicability by practitioners, compares the accuracy of individual and combined approaches to forecasting tourism demand for the total European Union. The evaluation of the forecasting accuracies was performed recursively (i.e., based on expanding estimation windows) for eight quarterly periods spanning two years in order to check the stability of the outcomes during a changing macroeconomic environment. The study sample includes Eurostat data from January 2005 until August 2017, and out of sample forecasts were calculated for the last two years for three and six months ahead. The analysis of the out-of-sample forecasts for arrivals and overnights showed that forecast combinations taking the historical forecasting performance of individual approaches such as Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models, REGARIMA models with different trend variables, and Error Trend Seasonal (ETS) models into account deliver the best results.Publication Hotel efficiency: A bootstrapped metafrontier approach(2010-01-01) Assaf, A; Barros, CP; Josiassen, APublication Internet hotel reservations: The "Terms and conditions" trap(2007-01-01) Wilson, RH
