Determining if two sets are related - that is, if they have similar values or if one set contains the other -- is an important problem with many applications in data cleaning, data integration, and information retrieval. For example, set relatedness can be a useful tool to discover whether columns from two different databases are joinable; if enough of the values in the columns match, it may make sense to join them. A common metric is to measure the relatedness of two sets by treating the elements as vertices of a bipartite graph and calculating the score of the maximum matching pairing between elements. Compared to other metrics which require exact matchings between elements, this metric uses a similarity function to compare elements between the two sets, making it robust to small dissimilarities in elements and more useful for real-world, dirty data. Unfortunately, the metric suffers from expensive computational cost, taking
O
(
n
3
) time, where
n
is the number of elements in the sets, for
each
set-to-set comparison. Thus for applications that try to search for all pairings of related sets in a brute-force manner, the runtime becomes unacceptably large.

To address this challenge, we developed S
ilk
M
oth
, a system capable of rapidly discovering related set pairs in collections of sets. Internally, S
ilk
M
oth
creates a signature for each set, with the property that any other set which is related must match the signature. S
ilk
M
oth
then uses these signatures to prune the search space, so only sets that match the signatures are left as candidates. Finally, S
ilk
M
oth
applies the maximum matching metric on remaining candidates to verify which of these candidates are truly related sets. An important property of S
ilk
M
oth
is that it is guaranteed to output exactly the same related set pairings as the brute-force method, unlike approximate techniques. Thus, a contribution of this paper is the characterization of the space of signatures which enable this property. We show that selecting the optimal signature in this space is NP-complete, and based on insights from the characterization of the space, we propose two novel filters which help to prune the candidates further before verification. In addition, we introduce a simple optimization to the calculation of the maximum matching metric itself based on the triangle inequality. Compared to related approaches, S
ilk
M
oth
is much more general, handling a larger space of similarity functions and relatedness metrics, and is an order of magnitude more efficient on real datasets.
Towards linear algebra over normalized data
Authors: Chen Lingjiao , Kumar Arun , Naughton Jeffrey , Patel Jignesh M.
Published: September 2017

Providing machine learning (ML) over relational data is a mainstream requirement for data analytics systems. While almost all ML tools require the input data to be presented as a single table, many datasets are multi-table. This forces data scientists to join those tables first, which often leads to data redundancy and runtime waste. Recent works on "factorized" ML mitigate this issue for a few specific ML algorithms by pushing ML through joins. But their approaches require a
manual
rewrite of ML implementations. Such piecemeal methods create a massive development overhead when extending such ideas to other ML algorithms. In this paper, we show that it is possible to mitigate this overhead by leveraging a popular formal algebra to represent the computations of many ML algorithms: linear algebra. We introduce a new logical data type to represent normalized data and devise a framework of algebraic rewrite rules to convert a large set of linear algebra operations over denormalized data into operations over normalized data. We show how this enables us to
automatically
"factorize" several popular ML algorithms, thus unifying and generalizing several prior works. We prototype our framework in the popular ML environment R and an industrial R-over-RDBMS tool. Experiments with both synthetic and real normalized data show that our framework also yields significant speed-ups, up to 36x on real data.
Stitching web tables for improving matching quality
Authors: Lehmberg Oliver , Bizer Christian
Published: September 2017

HTML tables on web pages ("web tables") cover a wide variety of topics. Data from web tables can thus be useful for tasks such as knowledge base completion or ad hoc table extension. Before table data can be used for these tasks, the tables must be matched to the respective knowledge base or base table. The challenges of web table matching are the high heterogeneity and the small size of the tables.

Though it is known that the majority of web tables are very small, the gold standards that are used to compare web table matching systems mostly consist of larger tables. In this experimental paper, we evaluate T2K Match, a web table to knowledge base matching system, and COMA, a standard schema matching tool, using a sample of web tables that is more realistic than the gold standards that were previously used. We find that both systems fail to produce correct results for many of the very small tables in the sample. As a remedy, we propose to stitch (combine) the tables from each web site into larger ones and match these enlarged tables to the knowledge base or base table afterwards. For this stitching process, we evaluate different schema matching methods in combination with holistic correspondence refinement. Limiting the stitching procedure to web tables from the same web site decreases the heterogeneity and allows us to stitch tables with very high precision. Our experiments show that applying table stitching before running the actual matching method improves the matching results by 0.38 in F1-measure for T2K Match and by 0.14 for COMA. Also, stitching the tables allows us to reduce the amount of tables in our corpus from 5 million original web tables to as few as 100,000 stitched tables.
Developing a low dimensional patient class profile in accordance to their respiration-induced tumor motion
Authors: Shamsuddin Rittika , Sawant Amit , Prabhakaran Balakrishnan
Published: September 2017

Tumor location displacement caused by respiration-induced motion reduces the efficacy of radiation therapy. Three medically relevant patterns are often observed in the respiration-induced motion signal:
baseline shift, ES-Range shift
, and
D-Range shift.

In this paper, for patients with lower body cancer, we develop class profiles (a low dimensional pattern frequency structure) that characterize them in terms of these three medically relevant patterns. We propose an adaptive segmentation technique that turns each respiration-induced motion signal into a multi-set of segments based on
persistent
variations within the signal. These multi-sets of segments is then probed for
base behaviors.
These base behaviors are then used to develop the group/class profiles using a modified version of the clustering technique described in [1]. Finally, via quantitative analysis, we provide a medical characterization for the class profiles, which can be used to explore breathing intervention technique.

We show that, with i) carefully designed feature sets, ii) the proposed adaptive segmentation technique, iii) the reasonable modifications to an existing clustering algorithm for multi-sets, and iv) the proposed medical characterization methodology, it is possible to reduce the time series respiration-induced motion signals into a compact class profile. One of our co-authors is a medical physician and we used his expert opinion to verify the results.

In academic settings over the last decade, there has been significant progress in time series classification. However, much of this work makes assumptions that are simply unrealistic for deployed industrial applications. Examples of these unrealistic assumptions include the following: assuming that data subsequences have a single fixed-length, are precisely extracted from the data, and are correctly labeled according to their membership in a set of equal-size classes. In real-world industrial settings, these patterns can be of different lengths, the class annotations may only belong to a general region of the data, may contain errors, and finally, the class distribution is typically highly skewed. Can we learn from such weakly labeled data? In this work, we introduce SDTS, a scalable algorithm that can learn in such challenging settings. We demonstrate the utility of our ideas by learning from diverse datasets with millions of datapoints. As we shall demonstrate, our domain-agnostic parameter-free algorithm can be competitive with domain-specific algorithms used in neuroscience and entomology, even when those algorithms have been tuned by domain experts to incorporate domain knowledge.
GRAPE

Published: September 2017

We demonstrate GRAPE, a parallel GRAPh query Engine. GRAPE advocates a parallel model based on a simultaneous fixed point computation in terms of partial and incremental evaluation. It differs from prior systems in its ability to parallelize existing sequential graph algorithms as a whole, without the need for recasting the entire algorithms into a new model. One of its unique features is that under a monotonic condition, GRAPE parallelization guarantees to terminate with correct answers as long as the sequential algorithms "plugged in" are correct. We demonstrate its parallel computations, ease-of-use and performance compared with the start-of-the-art graph systems. We also demonstrate a use case of GRAPE in social media marketing.

Published: September 2017

A data analytics flow typically operates on three layers: ingestion, analytics, and storage, each of which is provided by a data-intensive system. These systems are often available as cloud managed services, enabling the users to have pain-free deployment of data analytics flow applications such as click-stream analytics. Despite straightforward orchestration, elasticity management of the flows is challenging. This is due to: a) heterogeneity of workloads and diversity of cloud resources such as queue partitions, compute servers and NoSQL throughputs capacity, b) workload dependencies between the layers, and c) different performance behaviours and resource consumption patterns.

In this demonstration, we present Flower, a holistic elasticity management system that exploits advanced optimization and control theory techniques to manage elasticity of complex data analytics flows on clouds. Flower analyzes statistics and data collected from different data-intensive systems to provide the user with a suite of rich functionalities, including: workload dependency analysis, optimal resource share analysis, dynamic resource provisioning, and cross-platform monitoring. We will showcase various features of Flower using a real-world data analytics flow. We will allow the audience to explore Flower by visually defining and configuring a data analytics flow elasticity manager and get hands-on experience with integrated data analytics flow management.
Dima

Published: September 2017

Data analysts in industries spend more than 80% of time on data cleaning and integration in the whole process of data analytics due to data errors and inconsistencies. It calls for effective query processing techniques to tolerate the errors and inconsistencies. In this paper, we develop a distributed in-memory similarity-based query processing system called Dima. Dima supports two core similarity-based query operations, i.e., similarity search and similarity join. Dima extends the SQL programming interface for users to easily invoke these two operations in their data analysis jobs. To avoid expensive data transformation in a distributed environment, we design selectable signatures where two records approximately match if they share common signatures. More importantly, we can adaptively select the signatures to balance the workload. Dima builds signature-based global indexes and local indexes to support efficient similarity search and join. Since Spark is one of the widely adopted distributed in-memory computing systems, we have seamlessly integrated Dima into Spark and developed effective query optimization techniques in Spark. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first full-fledged distributed in-memory system that can support similarity-based query processing. We demonstrate our system in several scenarios, including entity matching, web table integration and query recommendation.

Ciceros supplicatio und aristokratische Konkurrenz im Senat der Späten Republik
Authors: Rollinger Christian
Published: September 2017

Ciceros Wunsch nach einer supplicatio im Anschluss an sein kilikisches Prokonsulat ist bislang, von wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen, kaum Beachtung geschenkt worden, die über eine gelegentliche Skizze im Rahmen biographischer Abhandlungen hinausgekommen wäre. Dabei zeigt aber gerade die Korrespondenz Ciceros während und unmittelbar nach seinem Prokonsulat sehr eindringlich, wie heftig der inneraristokratische Kampf um Auszeichnung und Prestige geführt wurde und bietet uns einen zeitgenössischen Einblick in die Mechaniken dieses Wettstreites, wie er informell im persönlichen und brieflichen Umgang und formell in den Sitzungen des Senates ausgetragen wurde. Ciceros Briefverkehr illustriert, wie komplexe Geflechte aus Verbindlichkeiten und gelegentlichen Abneigungen bei Senatsdebatten und Entscheidungen über öffentliche Auszeichnungen zum Tragen kamen und welche Mittel den Betroffenen zur Durchsetzung ihres Anliegens offenstanden. Somit geben sie uns auch einen wertvollen Blick auf die Bedeutung aristokratischen Prestiges, dessen standesinterne Verhandlung und die politische Praxis am Ende der Republik frei.
MicroRNA let-7g directly targets forkhead box C2 (FOXC2) to modulate bone metastasis in breast cancer
Authors: Wang Lei , Li Ming , Zhou Yongxin , Zhao Yu
Published: September 2017

Aberrantly expressed microRNAs have been implicated in lots of cancers. Reduced amounts of let-7g have been found in breast cancer tissues. The function of let-7g in bone metastasis of breast cancer remains poorly understood. This study is to explore the significance of let-7g and its novel target gene in bone metastasis of breast cancer.

The expression of let-7g or forkhead box C2 (FOXC2) was measured in human clinical breast cancer tissues with bone metastasis by using quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). After transfection with let-7g or anti-let-7g in breast cancer cell linesMDA-MB-231or SK-BR3, qRT-PCR and Western blot were done to test the levels of let-7g and FOXC2. The effect of anti-let-7g and/ or FOXC2 RNA interference (RNAi) on cell migration in breast cancer cells was evaluated by using wound healing assay.

Clinically, qRT-PCR showed that FOXC2 levels were higher in breast cancer tissues with bone metastasis than those in their noncancerous counterparts. Let-7g was showed to be negatively correlated with FOXC2 in human breast cancer samples with bone metastasis. We found that enforced expression of let-7g reduced levels of FOXC2 protein by using Western blot in MDA-MB-231 cells. Conversely, anti-let-7g enhanced levels of FOXC2 in SK-BR3 cells. In terms of function, anti-let-7g accelerated migration of SK-BR3 cells. Interestingly, FOXC2 RNAi abrogated anti-let-7g-mediated migration in breast cancer cells. Thus, we conclude that let-7g suppresses cell migration through targeting FOXC2 in breast cancer. Our finding provides a new perspective for understanding the mechanism of bone metastasis in breast cancer.

Kelly, SJ, Watsford, ML, Austin, DJ, Spurrs, RW, Pine, MJ, and Rennie, MJ. Differences in physical capacity between junior and senior Australian footballers. J Strength Cond Res 31(11): 3059–3066, 2017—The purpose of this study was to profile and compare anthropometric and physical capacities within elite junior and senior Australian football (AF) players of various chronological ages and stages of athletic development. Seventy-nine players, including junior and senior AF players from one professional club, were profiled using 11 assessments. Junior players were divided into 2 groups based on chronological age (under 16 and 18 years) and senior players according to years since drafted to a professional AF team (1–2 years, 3–7 years, and 8+ years). Parametric data were assessed using a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), whereas nonparametric data were assessed using a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA. The magnitude difference between players was measured using the Hopkins' effect size (ES). Significant differences were evident between under-16 players and all senior player groups for anthropometric (p = 0.001–0.019/ES = 1.25–2.13), absolute strength (p = 0.001–0.01/ES = 1.82–4.46), and relative strength (p = 0.001–0.027/ES = 0.84–3.55). The under-18 players displayed significantly lower absolute strength (p = 0.001–0.012/ES = 1.82–3.79) and relative strength (p = 0.001–0.027/ES = 0.85–4.00) compared with the 3–7 and 8+ players. Significant differences were evident between the under-16 players and senior player groups for explosive jumping and throwing tests (p = 0.001–0.017/ES = 1.03–2.99). Minimal differences were evident between all player groups for running assessments; however, the under-16 players were significantly slower compared with the 8+ players for the 3-km time trial (p < 0.02/ES = 1.31), whereas both junior player groups covered significantly less distance during the Yo-Yo IR2 (p < 0.02/ES = 1.19 and 1.60). Results of this study display a significant deficit in strength between junior and senior AF players.

Authors: Kaderli Reto Martin , Riss Philipp , Dunkler Daniela , Pietschmann Peter , Selberherr Andreas , Scheuba Christian , Niederle Bruno
Published: September 2017

Objective

Prolonged hypocalcemia but normal intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are referred to as ‘hungry bone syndrome’ (HBS). The aim was to evaluate preoperative risk factors for HBS with a focus on the impact of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency.

Design

Patients having undergone initial successful surgery for sporadic PHPT within 6 years were considered for retrospective analysis.

Methods

A total of 385 patients were evaluated, of whom 33 (8.6%) developed HBS influencing negatively the postoperative bone metabolism. All patients underwent biochemical evaluations two days before parathyroid surgery and were followed biochemically on a daily basis in the first postoperative week and thereafter at 8 weeks and 6 months.

Conclusions

No relationship was established between preoperative 25(OH)D deficiency and HBS. The only significant risk factor for HBS in multivariable analysis was high levels of preoperative iPTH. As HBS therefore cannot be predicted preoperatively, we recommend a consistent postoperative calcium and vitamin D supplementation to improve the bone metabolism.

Abstract This paper aims to review the changing roles of madrasah in Indonesian education, identify challenges and opportunities of madrasah and examine the adaptability of madrasah to global challenges. Historical and sociological approaches were used in order to understand the changing social and political contexts. It is assumed that the main challenges that madrasah is facing is no longer how to internalize Islamic values within the context of nation state, but how prepare young Muslims to play important roles in the globalizing world by pushing role of information technology. In addition, this paper also discuss how the dynamic of global values challenges and influences the well-established Islamic values. The major finding of the study is that while successful in promoting the idea of nation state through its curriculum and school traditions during the New Order Era in Indonesia, madrasah is currently struggling to adapt to the rapidly growing communication technology, implies that Indonesian government supports technology to increase role of madrasah.

The intra-EU migration challenge in the light of Kaldor’s legacy
Authors: Pelle Anita
Published: September 2017

The free movement of persons has been one of the fundamental building blocks of European integration from the beginning. The economics behind it implies that greater efficiency can be achieved if besides goods and services, the factors of production (i.e. capital and labour) can also move freely across a common market. Nevertheless, this setup was originally designed for an economic area where internal imbalances were modest. In fact, these freedoms have serious, originally unintended consequences in the 21st-century European Union (EU) where the original condition, even if implicit at that time, no longer applies. Nicholas Kaldor had actually warned about these threats many decades ago, saying that with the development of trade, initial differences among trading regions would grow in the absence of adequate compensating policies. Most lately, two large-scale events have accelerated intra-EU divergence and, consequently, migration: the Eastern enlargements and the recent financial and economic crisis. Our study focuses on the causes and potential implications of the intra-EU migration challenge in the light of Kaldor’s legacy. Our main conclusion is that the original construct of European economic integration is not fit for the current realities in that it no longer ensures steady and balanced development across the EU.
Stylised facts
Authors: Skidelsky Robert
Published: September 2017

I summarise Kaldor’s “stylised facts” approach to economics through the lens of his 1966 inaugural lecture at Cambridge, “Causes of the Slow Rate of Economic Growth of the United Kingdom”. I then defend this approach as a way of preventing economics from ossifying into pure formalism, fielding objections stemming from the Lucas critique, the advancement of econometrics, and the argument that stylised facts must depend on some prior theory. Finally, I argue that modern economics could benefit not only from his “stylised fact” approach, but also from his speculative boldness and substantive contributions to economic theory.
Persistent growth slowdowns in fast-growing middle-income economies
Authors: Sőreg Krisztina
Published: September 2017

From the second half of the 20th century, a set of emerging economies have undergone a remarkable developing path. During the first years of the global financial crisis of 2007–2008, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) were only slightly affected by its negative impacts. However, after 2013, a considerable growth slowdown period has evolved in these countries with the exception of the Indian economy. In the current study, we examine whether the growth dynamics of the BRICS economies shows significant correlation with the fluctuation of commodity prices, especially in the case of raw materials. Besides applying a cross correlation model on the quarterly commodity price indices and real GDP growth data, the research also focuses on the export structure of the selected fast-growing countries. As a closing element of our paper, a brief analysis is carried out regarding the correlations of growth patterns within the BRICS economies.

Published: September 2017

Kemerosotan kualitas lingkungan menyebabkan terjadinya serangan penyakit udang vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei), sehingga penggunaan produk kimia dan biologi  menjadi penting sebagai konsekuensi dalam mempertahankan produksi di tambak. Oleh karena itu, studi ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui produk kimia dan biologi yang digunakan di tambak udang vaname Kabupaten Pesawaran Provinsi Lampung sebagai upaya awal untuk mengantisipasi dampaknya terhadap lingkungan. Produk kimia dan biologi serta karakteristik budidaya tambak diketahui melalui pengajuan kuisioner secara terstruktur kepada responden di 29 usaha budidaya tambak di Kecamatan Padang Cermin dan Punduh Pidada Kabupaten Pesawaran. Pengukuran dan pengambilan contoh air dilakukan pada siklus hujan dan kemarau. Statistik deskriptif digunakan untuk mengetahui gambaran umum data penggunaan produk kimia dan biologi serta kualitas air. Uji-T digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan karakteristik budidaya tambak intensif dan super-intensif. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa ada 48 jenis produk kimia dan biologi yang digunakan di tambak dan dapat dibagi atas 5 kelompok yaitu: disinfektan, pestisida, pupuk, perbaikan tanah, dan air serta tambahan pakan yang masing-masing dibagi lagi menjadi beberapa sub-kelompok. Pestisida organik dan kapur adalah sub-kelompok produk yang banyak digunakan dan sebaliknya pestisida anorganik adalah sub-kelompok produk yang paling sedikit digunakan di tambak udang vaname. Produk kimia dan biologi yang bersifat sangat beracun, sulit terurai, dapat terakumulasi dalam tubuh organisme dan berbahaya bagi keselamatan makanan ternyata tidak digunakan dalam budidaya tambak udang vaname. Dengan berdasar pada produksi dan luasan tambak udang vaname intensif dan super-intensif maka dihasilkan beban limbah sebesar 21.349-35.582 kg N dan 3.050-6.100 kg P pada setiap siklus budidaya yang memiliki potensi sebagai pencemar untuk budidaya udang vaname itu sendiri di Kabupaten Pesawaran
“You Were Not There,” The Creation of Humility and Knowledge in Qur?anic Stories: A Rhetorical and Narratological Analysis
Authors: Ozgur Alhassen Leyla
Published: September 2017

In this study, I explore verses in the Qur?an that come towards the end of stories and use a second-person address to say, “you were not there” when this happened. I seek to understand what literary function in the story it serves to address the second person and her/ his lack of knowledge, whomever s/he is. I locate all of these verses (3:44, 11:49, 12:102 and 28:44–46) and analyze them in order to obtain a better understanding and analysis of Qur?anic literary style. I focus on what these stories have in common and how the verses function. In addition, I analyze the verses and their roles in their respective stories. Through this analysis, we see that these verses are generally seen by commentators and modern scholars as asserting the Prophet’s authority and the Qur?an’s authenticity. However, I argue that these verses function as a sophisticated Qur?anic literary and rhetorical device that works to put people in their place: Prophet Mu?ammad, his contemporaries, and all of the Qur?an’s audience, by showing them their lack of knowledge and their temporality.
Online gerontechnological resources analysis for active aging
Authors: Díaz-Prieto Cristina , García-Sánchez Jesús Nicasio
Published: September 2017

Gerontechnology has become a new field of interest in aging, showing the potential of these new tools to promote the well-being of the elderly and active aging. Although few studies have focused on analyzing the online resources available for this purpose. Here, we identify and analyze the online resources focused on some of the main areas of interest in active aging, according to its main characteristics, as well as aspects of accessibility, use and quality, with special emphasis on those resources aimed specifically at older people. We identified and coded 557 links. These links are focused on 7 dimensions of active aging. Descriptive and multivariate analyses show a lack of online resources aimed specifically at older people, especially in relation to psychosocial and emotional variables. We have found significant limitations of accessibility, use and quality of resources. We conclude on the need for greater involvement institutional, social and scientific to maximize the possibilities offered by the Internet and to overcome the limitations found and that might serve as some of the causes of the generational digital divide existing.
The Other Women in Dialogic Literary Gatherings
Authors: Garcia Yeste Carme , Padrós Cuxart Maria , Mondéjar Torra Eduard , Villarejo Carballido Beatriz
Published: September 2017

This paper is based on Freire’s conception of dialogic action, which highlights the role of dialogue in raising awareness and critical consciousness (Freire, 1970). Drawing on this conception, Dialogic Literary Gatherings (DLG) were created in 1978 in a working-class neighbourhood in Barcelona. The purpose was not only to contribute to adults’ literacy learning but also to support their empowerment towards personal and social transformations. Specifically, we examine four non-academic women who have participated in DLG for more than 20 years and who have been traditionally excluded from decision-making processes in various personal and social spaces. We demonstrate how these women transform their self-concept as readers and learners by engaging in reading and enjoying classic literature, thus becoming empowered as social agents. This empowerment has occurred through several pathways for engagement. DLG allow participants to become confident readers who perceive themselves as culturally competent such that they are capable of actively participating in scholarly forums. Participants become more socially engaged and become involved in social movements to support marginalised communities. The transformative dialogues prompted by individually reading aloud and collectively discussing the morals and social values of the classics (i.e., gender issues) mobilise participants to engage in women’s movements, opening the feminist arena to include so-called ‘other women’.

Over the last years, we observed an exponential growth in the number of tourism consumers that use the Internet as a source of information during a destination selection process. This process usually starts in a search engine, more specifically and likely on Google. Google Trends is a tool that displays data on the interest of people in a particular topic based on search trends. This data can probably be used by tourism organisations to help perform intelligent decision making, since it is available almost in real time and much earlier than the official statistical data. Indeed, this paper demonstrates that Google Trends is a tool that can provide useful and relevant information about the interests of individuals in relation to domestic tourism destinations at national and regional levels, and is focused on Google-search data regarding mainland Portugal and its tourism regions: North, Centre, Alentejo and Algarve. Our findings indicate that overnights spent in hotel establishments by the residents in Portugal are strongly correlated with the Google index, mainly in mainland Portugal, Alentejo and Algarve regions, and that the results improve when more municipalities names and the national or the regional tourism brands are included as search terms.

This paper presents a dynamic model of the Effective Tax Rate (ETR) in the tourism sector. A dynamic model where the lagged endogenous variable ETR has been included as a regressor to identify the dynamic structure of the variable due to the existence of temporal adjustments between the short and long run in ETR payments has been estimated. The empirical analysis based on a panel data set over the 2008-2013 period explores the determinants of the ETR variable by using a Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimator controlling for heterogeneity in the tourism sector. The Arellano-Bond system GMM estimator has been used to estimate the model. The study seeks to shed light on the determinants of tax burden in the tourism sector covering the lack of studies on this topic. The findings obtained suggest that the ETR borne is determined by size, financing structure and type of entity. We deem the finding of the existence of non-linear relationships between ETR and size and financing structure relevant.
