In a liberalized aviation market airports in a multiple airport region will have to compete with substitute airports for origin / destination passengers (and also transfer passengers). Passengers have to take a number of decisions; the have to choose airports, airlines and airport access modes...

Several studies are concerned with the choice behavior of high school leavers. Researchers consider increasingly broader sets of choices within a multinomial choice framework by including transitions to work and to other levels of education. The present paper follows from this literature and...

In recent years urban economists have focused their attention upon a 'newly recognized' phenomenon: edge cities. Such an urban growth pattern, although having its primary roots in the United States, can be an appropriate framework for examining European trends of urban industrial location. The...

The focus in this paper is on spatial diffusion patterns of call centers in The Netherlands. The number of call centers has increased rapidly in the last decade and it seems that impacts of call centers on the labor market still underestimated. We will pay attention to two spatial levels: first...

Airlines network choices are analysed to describe the co-existence of alternative business models: the full service model based on the hub-and-spoke (HS) system and the low cost model based on point-to-point (PP) system. The analysis is carried on both theoretically and empirically. In the...
