This paper investigates cooperation between air transport and high-speed rail (HSR), with the air sector reimbursing air-HSR transfer passengers for their HSR tickets while the rail sector sharing revenue with the air sector to compensate for the reimbursement. The air-HSR cooperation...

China and India's air transport sector exhibits substantial differences 30 years after deregulation. The strong presence of private and low-cost carriers and the intense route-level competition are the key drivers for an overall better performance for Indian carriers measured by technical...

This paper examines the impact of China's large-scale high-speed rail (HSR) expansion, announced in June 2016, on low-cost carriers (LCCs) and the associated benefits assessment of the expansion program. Our analysis suggests that HSR imposes a greater threat to LCCs than to full service...

This study investigates the factors affecting air passengers' choice of transfer airport in the market between Southeast Asia (SE Asia) and North America (NA). It estimates demand parameters and sheds lights on the business strategies for an airport operator including identifying effective...

This study measures the market power of China's national railway operator and analyzes its contributing and determining factors. A newly-developed stochastic frontier method is used to estimate the Lerner indexes of the operator's 18 regional railway bureaus from 1995-2014. A regression is then...

This study investigates, both theoretically and empirically, the effects of high-speed rail (HSR) speed on airline traffic and price, taking into account the degree of substitutability between the two services. Our model incorporates two countervailing effects of HSR speed on airlines, namely...
