First of all, the nexus between the level of efficiency and changes in productivity, driven by improvements in innovation and/or efficiency, is determined using Data Envelopment Analysis and the Malmquist Index. Second, this paper proposes a synthetic index to measure seasonality and assess its connection with efficiency and innovation, using a cross efficiency approach to do so. Results show how the intensity of seasonality influences efficiency. In addition, it is observed that innovation can offset possible decreases in efficiency; as such, policies that promote both aspects are needed in the more seasonal destinations.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Seasonality}, keywords = {Efficiency}, keywords = {Innovation}, keywords = {Coastal tourism}, title = {Analysis of the role of innovation and efficiency in coastal destinations affected by tourism seasonality}, doi = {10.1016/j.jik.2022.100163}, author = {Puertas Medina, Rosa María and Martín Martín, José María}, }
