In this paper, we examine different model specifications to detect the presence of preference heterogeneity in an airline choice context. We analyze the most important route connecting the Canary Islands archipelago with the Iberian Peninsula. For this purpose, we conduct a stated preference...

This paper evaluates gains in efficiency produced by the use of efficient designs to analyze stated choice (SC) data. Based on a standard experiment used in a previous research, we compare the efficiency of this design with that of the efficient design obtained according to the minimization of...

We derive values of travel time savings (VOT) for the Madrid–Barcelona corridor, linking the two largest cities in Spain, based on the estimation of discrete choice models among the main public transport services in the corridor: air transport, high speed rail (HSR) and bus. The new HSR...

Frequent flyer programs are used as a common strategy in the airline industry. They can be defined as a service quality attribute that consists of some redemption of free flight miles and can determines the selection of airlines. It has been argued that they can act as an entry barrier, but...

This paper analyzes the potential competition of the high-speed train with the air transport between Madrid and Barcelona. The analysis estimates disaggregated mode choice models using information provided by mixed revealed and stated preferences database. We obtained different...

We analyse the choice of mode in suburban corridors using nested logit specifications with revealed and stated preference data. The latter were obtained from a choice experiment between car and bus, which allowed for interactions among the main policy variables: travel cost, travel time and...

We analyse mode choice behaviour for suburban trips in the Grand Canary island using mixed revealed preference (RP)/stated preference (SP) information. The SP choice experiment allowed for interactions among the main policy variables: travel cost, travel time and frequency, and also to test the...

We obtain confidence intervals for willingness-to-pay (WTP) measures derived from a mode choice model estimated to analyse travel demand for suburban trips in the two main interurban corridors in Gran Canaria using a mixed RP/SP data base. We considered a specification of the systematic utility...

This paper develops a game theoretic model that analyzes the competition for hub location when airlines operate in deregulated intercontinental markets. The whole process is viewed as a dynamic game of complete information played in two stages: location and competition. In the location stage,...
