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...

This paper analyses the network reorganisation that European carriers have implemented after September 11th in the transatlantic flights. We model carriers' conduct as a mixture of short- and long-term goals where the weights depend on firm-specific variables (adjustment costs, financial...

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...

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...

As is well known housing has a unique set of characteristics which interact to cause the operation of the housing market to be significantly different from that of other markets. On the demand side individuals have to search for vacancies and its characteristics. Due to the high dimensionality...

This paper aims to offer a quantitative contribution to energy-environment policy in Japan in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear power accident. In the meantime, nuclear power supply has almost entirely been banned, with the consequence that an intensive search for alternative forms of...

Japan is faced with a ÂgFukushimaÂf problem, meaning a nuclear accident leading to electrical power shortage. This problem relates to a non-balanced ÂgEnergy-Environment-EconomicÂh policy which does not, but should incorporate Âgelectrical power savingÂh, Âglow carbon emissionÂh, and...

The present paper investigates the choice of route network, frequencies and ticket prices in air transport networks served by oligopolists. The paper describes these choices in a simple airline network by means of a simulation model. Airline competition is modeled as a 2 stage game: airlines...

In this paper we investigate the form of the distance-decay function for commuting, on the basis of an analysis of home-to-work relationships between municipalities in Denmark. The equation for the number of commuters is taken from Alonso’s Theory of Movements, in which the Spatial Interaction...
