This paper investigates the impact of airline market structure on airport productivity, in which airlines are viewed as downstream users of an airport in a vertical airport–airlines structure. Our estimation is based on a sample of eleven major airports in Northeast Asia. A standard...

We explore the impacts of high-speed rail (HSR) developments on airport-level traffic by considering not only the availability of air-HSR intermodal linkage between the airport and HSR station but also the position of the airport's city in the HSR network. The latter is measured by both the...

This paper examines the interaction between urban road congestion and competition between two seaports. We find that an increase in road capacity or increasing tolls by a chain may increase its port's profit and reduce the rival port's profit. As a consequence, roads are tolled above the...

In this study, we empirically investigate the impacts of urban road congestion and road capacity expansion on the competition between major container ports in the US. We find that more delays on urban roads may cause shippers to switch to competing rival ports: a 1% increase in road congestion...
