The tourism sector is given high priority by the Catalan Statistical Office (Idescat) both regarding theoretical developments and production of statistical data. In this context, tourism expenditure can be regarded as a key strategic variable when it comes to assessing such important issues as the impact of tourism on economic growth and satellite accounting of the tourism sector. The Idescat is therefore committed in the development of methodological improvements in the field. In this article a method is suggested to impute missing data and to correct systematic errors in surveys measuring tourism expenditure. The complexity of tourism expenditure makes systematic errors to consist mainly in underreporting. The suggested method consists in asymmetrically windsorizing the residuals for daily expenditure per person in a regression model that uses the characteristics of the trip as predictor. Estimation is done iteratively with a variant of the EM algorithm. Standard errors are comput...

The information and communication technologies (ICT) sectors are in a process of technological convergence. Determinant factors in this process are the liberalisation of the telecommunications markets and technological change. Many firms are engaged in a process of mergers and alliances to position themselves in this new framework. Technological and demand uncertainties are very important. Our objective in this paper is

In this article, the results of a modified SERVQUAL questionnaire (Parasuraman et al., 1991) are reported. The modifications consisted in substituting questionnaire items particularly suited to a specific service (banking) and context (county of Girona, Spain) for the original rather general and abstract items. These modifications led to more interpretable factors which accounted for a higher percentage of item variance.
