This paper provides theory and evidence on airline bag fees, offering insights into a real-world case of product … unbundling. The theory predicts that an airlineś fares should fall when it introduces a bag fee, but that the full trip price …

Airline fuel consumption is costly for the firms and for society as well due to a climate-change externality. We study … how fuel price changes affect cost-minimizing choices by airlines that have implications for the extent of this … externality. The airline industry's capital stock can be easily inventoried as a set of long-lived, durable aircraft. This …

This paper investigates strategic interaction among airlines in product-quality choices. Using an instrumental … variables approach, the paper estimates flight-frequency reaction functions, which relate an airline's frequency on a route to … its own characteristics and to the frequencies of competing airlines. A positive reaction function slope is found in some …
