In addition, CEIBS graduate salaries increased by an average of 179 per cent in the three years after graduation, which is the highest ranked pay rise among the schools. Graduates' weighted salary reached 151,641 U.S. dollars, based on the Purchasing Power Parity of the World Bank. Meanwhile, CEIBS graduates' employment rate at three months was reported to have hit 92 percent. "For a school that is only in its 15th year, to rank among the Financial Times' Top Ten is an extraordinary accomplishment," said CEIBS Executive President Pedro Nueno.

  • Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects On
    Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects on Outbound Tourism 1 Derivation of the Empirical Model from the Theoretical Foundation We explicitly incorporate the three mechanisms of political effects (country image, nationalism, and govern- ment intervention) into a gravity-like tourism demand model. The gravity model was initially transplanted into international trade literature (McCallum, 1995; Anderson & Van Wincoop, 2003) and later transplanted to international tourism literature (Kimura & Lee, 2006; Keum, 2010). In the traditional bilateral gravity model, tourist flow (퐹표푑) from origin country 표 to destination country 푑 is determined by the “masses” (푀) of the two countries (usually GDP per capita) and the bilateral distance (퐷표푑), multiplied by a constant 퐺. A log- linear transformation is usually used in empirical implementation: 훽 훽 푀 표푀 푑 퐹 = 퐺 × 표 푑 → ln 퐹 = 푖푛푡푒푟푐푒푝푡 + 훃′[ln 푀 , ln 푀 , ln 퐷 ]. (1) 표푑 훽표푑 표푑 표 푑 표푑 퐷표푑 There are essentially two types of factors on the right-hand side of equation (1): terms related to only one country (푀표, 푀푑) and terms related to country pair (퐷표푑). Morley et al. (2014) structurally derive this gravity equation from microeconomic behavior (known as “micro-foundation revolution” in macroeconomic litera- ture). We extend their bilateral and static framework to allow for both multilateral interdependence and inter- temporal dynamics. The former is derived theoretically, and the latter is formulated empirically. 1.1 The Theoretical Model with Multilateral Interdependence An individual (indexed by 푖) from an origin country maximizes his/her utility 푈(∙) by choosing the numbers of visit, 푓푑(푖), to a set of destination countries 푑 ∈ [1, 푁] under an optimally allocated tourism budget, which is a power function of his/her total income 푚(푖)—in other words, we assume a constant income elasticity (휇) of demand for tourism.
