摘要：
Following the dearth of information on how economic freedom interacts with tourism to improve or undermine income distribution, this study investigates the moderation of economic freedom on the tourism-income inequality nexus in 37 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2000 to 2020. This study used the panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) and generalised method of moments (GMM) estimation techniques to account for cross-sectional dependence and endogeneity issues, respectively. We find that tourism and economic freedom undermine income distribution. Moreover, the results reveal that economic freedom interacts with tourism to improve income distribution. Policy implications are discussed.
