Rate My Professor Luciano Lopez

Lopez's research examines the effects of foreign aid, including its promotion of tourism demand for donor countries and impacts on donor economies such as Switzerland. Notable publications include 'Does official development assistance promote tourism demand for donor countries? Evidence from Switzerland' co-authored with G. Bianchi and Y. Chen (Tourism Economics, 2023); 'Testing for Granger causality in panel data' with S. Weber (Stata Journal, 2017); 'XTGCAUSE: Stata module to test for Granger non-causality in heterogeneous panels' (Boston College Department of Economics, 2017); and 'Granger Causality in Panel Datasets: Relationship Between Economic Growth and CO2 Emissions' (Applied Econometric Analysis Using Cross Section and Panel Data, 2024). Additional works feature conference proceedings on guests' perceptions of circular economy practices in hotels (APacCHRIE 2023) and hotels' circular economy efforts (EMAC 2022), as well as 'Causal links between bilateral aid and exports: The Swiss case' (IRENE Working Paper, 2017) and 'The impact of official development assistance on the donor's economy' (Université de Neuchâtel, 2018). He has been honored with the EHL Best Emergency Remote Teaching Award 2020 and the Credit Suisse Award for Best Teaching 2016 from the Université de Neuchâtel.
