Nexus between tourism and ecological footprint in RCEP: Fresh evidence from Bayesian MCMC random-effects sampling by Nguyen Ngoc Thach, Bui Hoang Ngoc

“…This study is conducted to explore the impact of tourism, economic growth, globalization, and human capital on environmental degradation in RCEP countries during 1995–2016. By adopting Bayesian random-effects regression to capture individual variations across countries, the findings show that tourism development improves environmental quality, while economic growth and globalization positively drive environmental degradation. …”

COVID-19 RT-qPCR-based screening in Austrian schools and incidences in the general population: a Bayesian spatiotemporal analysis by Yessika Adelwin Natalia, Sereina Annik Herzog, Thomas Neyens, Christoph Johann Zurl, Volker Strenger, Geert Molenberghs, Christel Faes

“…This study explores the impact of this program on COVID-19 transmission by examining the relationship between incidence rates and factors such as age, vaccination coverage, and RT-qPCR positivity rates among school-aged children across Austrian districts, using a Bayesian spatiotemporal discrete model. Our findings highlight significant effects of vaccination and positivity rates on COVID-19 incidence, with variations in their influence across different age groups and locations. …”
