research; third mission
This project researched both fiscal policies and environmental protection strategies taking as case study the city of Rimini. It was divided in different steps: the study of current tourist tax in Rimini; the analysis of the distribution of its incomes; the understanding of the carbon footprint caused by tourists in the city in order to find any possible relation between the tourism tax and the level of pollution deriving from tourist services. Unirimini funded the Department of Economics of the University of Bologna for this research, which in turn commissioned CAST.
