Purpose – development of the Tourism Industry Stress Index (TSI) and the Financial Stress Index (FSI) followed by an examination of their interaction. Design – The TSI, which aggregates tourist arrivals, overnight stays and net occupancy, was tested on data for Finland, Italy, Germany and Spain between 1993 and 2020. The FSI was composed of the S&P500 index, Brent oil futures, and the real effective exchange rate of the euro. Methodology / Approach – Both stress indices were calculated as the difference between the moving standard deviation and the moving average of the monthly growth rate of the selected indicators. We aggregated them by applying two alternative techniques: arithmetic mean and nonnormalized principal component analysis. The Granger causality test was utilised to assess the dependence between the indices. Findings – We identified periods of increased volatility in the European tourism market and described its connection to financial crises. The causality test of the FSI-TSI model showed that financial turmoil led to increased tourism market stress with an average lag of three months and a marginal effect of 0.2. Originality of the research – We recommend the Financial Stress Index as a predictor of the Tourism Industry Stress Index in the business cycle.

AbstractThis paper investigates the relationship between financial stress and the working class in the USA. Employing a financial stress index created from the Survey of Consumer Finances, I show that working class households are nearly twice as likely to be financially stressed than wealthier non-working class households from 1992 to 2016. A possible explanation of this result could be that the financial expropriation of personal income among the working class has the effect of increasing that group’s financial stress relative to wealthier classes. Working class households in the USA have struggled to afford means of subsistence in lieu of lacklustre wage growth and a tattered safety net. Financial expropriation of these households has operated in tandem with this precarity, increasing financial stress in a time of financialised capitalism.

Motivado por las discrepancias presentes en las actuales cronologías de crisis bancarias, este trabajo desarrolla un índice de stress financiero y propone su utilización como herramienta alternativa para identificar la presencia de problemas bancarios. Este índice se diferencia de otras propuestas similares por la utilización de series disponibles para un amplio número de países y durante extensos períodos de tiempo. Se encuentra que mediante su utilización es posible derivar una cronología de crisis bancarias que compara favorablemente con estudios previos y que, además, permite la identificación de episodios usualmente no reconocidos. Adicionalmente, para países considerados con historial de crisis gemelas, se encuentra que el FSI muestra una clara asociación con la evolución del tipo de cambio real y otros indicadores de presión cambiaria, lo cual es considerado como un respaldo adicional a la validez del FSI como herramienta para la identificación de problemas bancarios.
