JUNE, 2021. Chao Song team’s paper titled “Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts on Regional Tourism across Chinese Cities: A Spatiotemporal Heterogeneous Perspective” was published in ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (SCI, Q2, IF=3.099). This is the first research in China to explore the combined impacts of socioeconomic and environmental drivers on city-level tourism from a spatiotemporal heterogeneous perspective, achieved by using our proposed Bayesian STVC model.

Jan-June, 2021. Chao Song reviewed articles for journals IJGIS, IJGI, spatial statistics, and BMC public health.

April 2021. Chao Song (PI) was funded by the Fund for Introducing Talents of Sichuan University (Grant No. YJ202157). This three-year project will focus on further developing the Bayesian STVC series modeling technique and applying it in health economics.
