  Research question The COVID-19 pandemic entailed a period where no spectators were allowed to attend arena events. This provided a unique opportunity to study how the non-presence of supportive home crowds affects home advantage in sports. In this paper, we examine if there is such a home advantage for ice hockey. Research methods Using data from four consecutive seasons of Norwegian ice hockey, we apply team-fixed and referee-fixed effects regression analysis to identify how the non-presence of home crowds affects two aspects of home advantage in ice hockey: goal scoring and number of suspensions. Results When matches are played in front of no home crowd, away teams score more goals to reduce the initial goal scoring difference in favor of home teams. When playing in front of no home crowd, home teams also get more suspensions causing more power plays for away teams to reduce the initial difference in number of suspensions favoring home teams. Finally, more suspensions for home teams are positively correlated with goal scoring for away teams. This suggests that the absence of home crowds also influences goal scoring indirectly for away teams, i.e. through more suspensions for home teams. Implications When two teams of equal performance-ability meet up, hockey team owners, coaches, people betting on hockey matches, and fans/spectators could all benefit from knowing that a roaring home crowd might be the critical issue that tips the scale in the home team’s favor.

  Very complicated so-called ‘survival’ (or duration) models have featured strongly in research aimed at explaining variation in tourists' length of stay at destinations. In a constructive critique of this research, Thrane (2012) has shown that use of these models lacks sound footing on conceptual as well as statistical grounds. In recent studies, length of stay has been thought of as a count variable, and the variation in this variable has accordingly been modelled with count data regression models. The purpose of the present study is to provide a constructive critique of this research. There are two conclusions. First, count data regression models should be used when analysing ‘how-many-times-something-happened’ data. Consequently, these models are not ideal when the non-discrete dependent variable is length of stay measured in days. Second, since an OLS regression analysis on the natural log of length of stay yields the same results as a far more complicated count data regression model, the former is preferable on the principle of parsimony and with regard to reaching out to an audience not well acquainted with statistics.

  Method of payment — debit card, credit card or cash — is known to affect consumer spending on various items. The purpose of this study is to scrutinize the relationship between the method of payment and the total trip expenditure of Norwegian winter tourists. There are two main findings: (a) credit card and debit card users — the so-called ‘plastic money’ segments — spend more money in total on their trip than cash users; (b) of the two plastic money segments, credit card users are the bigger spenders. The scholarly and strategic implications are offered.

  Abstract: The relationship between length of stay (LOS) and total trip expenditures (TTE) has been scrutinized many times within a micro-econometric framework, usually by means of ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis. The author questions this practice because much evidence suggests that LOS is an ‘endogenous’ independent variable. One of the basic assumptions of OLS regression is thus violated, and a new method – instrumental variable (IV) regression – is called for to produce a consistent, unbiased estimate of LOS. A non-technical case study on IV regression shows that the LOS–TTE relationship estimated by IV regression analysis is only about half the analogue OLS estimate. The study concludes with several important implications for the statistical modelling of micro-level tourism expenditures and for cross-sectional regression-based tourism studies in general.

  This study concerns decision timing in international tourism; that is, the amount of time that elapses between a decision being made to visit a foreign country and the trip actually taking place. In particular, the focus is on differences in decision times among tourists of different nationalities. The empirical setting is the inbound summer tourism market in Norway, and the data are based on a large-scale visitor survey conducted in 2011. The average international tourist visiting Norway during the 2011 summer season made the decision to do so about six months in advance; however, there were noticeable national differences in this regard. Furthermore, the results show that certain other independent variables contribute to the statistical explanation of variations in decision times. The implications for further research and marketing are discussed.

  Marcussen (2011a) distinguished between the vital and the not-so-vital determinants of micro-level tourism expenditure. Arguably, the lessons learned from Marcussen's study, combined with best practice in recent econometric modelling, have set a new higher standard for future research on this topic. Against this background, this paper gives practical advice on how to improve the modelling of micro-level tourism expenditure in the future. Three issues are discussed: (a) the choice of independent variables; (b) the choice of functional form; and (c) the choice of estimation technique. Empirical illustrations are provided.

  The relative influence of objective and sensory attributes' effects on wine prices have intrigued scholars recently. In this regard, a study by Lecocq and Visser (2006) concluded that the objective attributes were of primary importance. Against this background the purpose of this article is two-fold: (i) to establish that Lecocq and Visser's (2006) conclusion might be premature and (ii) to demonstrate how any study aiming at comparing the relative strengths of different sets of explanatory variables might be carried out more effectively.

  To varying degrees everyone in the labour market faces the risk of becoming unemployed. Using longitudinal data the present study examines how a number of human capital and socio-demographic variables affect Norwegian hospitality employees¿ risk or probability of becoming unemployed in the 1995¿ 2001 period. Among several findings, the results show that education, age, marriage and ethnicity have the expected effects on unemployment risk. However, the results also demonstrate that for a number of the independent variables considered, the effects on unemployment risk differ according to gender. By and large these results are in keeping with prior research.

  With international research serving as background, this study addresses the relationship between movie critics? reviews and movie distribution, on the one hand, and motion pictures? box-office revenues, on the other. More specifically, the study examines whether the reviews in the three Norwegian newspapers Aftenposten, Dagbladet and Verdens Gang have an impact on the box-office revenues of the motion pictures showing at Norwegian movie theaters during 2003 and 2004. In a similar vein, the study scrutinizes how intensity of distribution is related to motion pictures? box-office revenues. Three findings in particular are especially noteworthy: (1) More favorable reviews are associated with higher box-office revenues. (2) The more intensively a motion picture is distributed, the higher the box-office revenues. (3) The more intensively a motion picture is distributed, the less important are the reviews as determinants of motion pictures? box-office revenues. It is concluded that the movie critics in the three newspapers have a substantial effect on the demand for motion pictures in Norway, and that the film distributors themselves affect the demand for motion pictures by their decisions regarding distribution intensity

  In a survey among a representative sample of the Norwegian population (N 5 2449), the associations between environmental attitudes and interest in 15 outdoor recreation activities were assessed. Environmental attitudes were measured by a short version of the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale. Results suggest that most Norwegians agree with the environmental values tapped by the NEP scale. NEP scores were higher among women than among men and they were negatively associated with age. Rural inhabitants expressed lower NEP scores than did urban respondents, but educational level did not affect NEP scale scores. Multiple regression models explained only limited parts of the variance in respondents? NEP score and interests in outdoor recreation activities. The NEP scale yielded different regression coefficients across the 15 activities. However, the scale did contribute significantly to the prediction of interest in ten out of 15 activities. The results show that ?appreciative? and ?consumptive? activities do not constitute homogenous categories that relate to environmental attitudes in opposing ways. For example, various types of fishing and various types of hunting show different associations with environmental attitudes as measured by the NEP scale. The combined picture of the regression models suggests a complex relationship between recreational interests and the predictor variables. To obtain better explanations, other variables and more complex models will most likely be needed

  This paper studies how education and certain lifestyle factors affect people's self-reported health. In addition to the assessment of the effects of education and lifestyle, the study contrasts two models of explaining educational-related health inequalities: the mediation model and the moderator model. The mediation model posits that well-educated people's better health, as compared to the poorly educated, is caused by their more ?healthy? lifestyles. The moderator model suggests, by contrast, that the effects of the lifestyle variables on health are dependent upon educational level. Several analyses are carried out on two large data sets comprising of middle-aged men and women in two Norwegian counties, Rogaland and Nordland. Two main findings are presented: (1) Both education and lifestyle factors have the expected effects on health. (2) The results do not permit a clear-cut conclusion as to which of the two models of educational-related health inequalities should be preferred: whereas the results support the mediation model in the data from Rogaland, the moderator model is partially supported in the Nordland data

• Thrane, Christer (2005). How to present results from logistic regression analysis in hospitality and tourism research. Tourism and Hospitality Research. ISSN 1464-2700. 5(4), s. 295–305. Vis sammendrag

  Many papers in hospitality and toursim research use logistic regression as the multivariate estimation strategy. When the results from these models are presented, only the logistic regression coefficients are usually reported. This is unfortunate since these coefficients have no intuitive metric. Hence, it is very difficult both for other researchers and for laymen to evaluate if the effects of the independent variables in question have important effects on the dependent variable or not. By using logistic regression coefficients from two real datasets as input in simple calculations, this paper shows how the question of the independent variables' net and relative importance can be more satisfactorily assessed.

  This article draws attention to a neglected field in tourism research: the study of the demand for package tours. In particular, two research questions were addressed. First, the possible changes in the demand over time for package tours abroad were examined using Norwegian household expenditures data from 1989 to 1999. Second, the article examined how a number of sociodemographic and locational variables affected the demand for this kind of tourism. Because a large number of households in the data did not take part in a package tour abroad in the period studied, a sample-selection regression procedure was adopted as the estimation strategy. Three results were especially noteworthy: 1) An increasing number of Norwegian households took part in a package tour as the decade progressed. 2) Among those households that took part in a package tour, the mean expenditures decreased throughout the decade. 3) Permanent income had a positive influence on both the propensity of taking part in package tours and on the expenditures on such tours.

  With the research on hedonic price theory serving as background, this study examined how the overall price of a sun-and-beach package tour was determined by choice of tour operator, choice of destination, hotel star rating, and a number of different attributes characterizing the package tour. In addition, the study drew attention to a particular problem in previous price hedonic tourism research: the possible endogeneity of the hotel star rating variable. To address this issue, a hierarchical regression procedure was adopted. This procedure permitted the tracing of the attributes' possible indirect effects on overall package tour prices through the hotel star rating variable. The results help consumers identify those package tour attributes that they have to pay extra for as opposed to those that they do not, and at the same time provide tour operators with a useful instrument for strategic pricing.

  In a previous paper in this journal, Unwin criticised the prior wine applications of price hedonic theory. This paper recapitulates and elaborates Unwin's critique drawing primarily on basic knowledge from the econometric literature and more recent price hedonic wine studies. Facing this critique, the empirical section of the paper provides an example of how a more realistic and stripped-down version of the price hedonic model could be applied in the wine context.

• Elstad, Beate & Thrane, Christer (1997). Festivalkvalitet : en sammenligning av de besøkendes og de frivilliges vurderinger av kvaliteten på Kongsberg Jazzfestival. Høgskolen i Innlandet. Vis sammendrag

  Denne studien handler om hvordan de besøkende og de frivillige funksj onærene oppfatter kvaliteten på årets utgave av Kongsberg Jazzfestiva l. Først blir kvalitetsbegrepet i en festivalkonstekst kort diskutert , og deretter presenteres den empiriske undersøkelsen. Konklusjonen h er er for det første at begge disse gruppene oppfatter kvaliteten som mer enn tilfredsstillende. For det andre er det stort samsvar mellom hvordan de frivillige tror de besøkende oppfatter de ulike kvalitets aspektene ved KJ, og hvordan de besøkende faktisk gjør dette. Og for det tredje viser det seg at ulike kvalitetsaspekter påvirker helhetsi nntrykket av KJ, både for besøkende og frivillige.
