Using a general-equilibrium model that includes consumers, airlines, and an airport with both aeronautical service and non-aeronautical service, this paper investigates the airport's decisions on its aeronautical charge and capacity, as well as the size of its non-aeronautical service. In...

Das Fit-for-55-Maßnahmenpaket der EU bezweckt eine Reduktion der CO2-Emissionen um55 % bis 2030, gemessen an den Emissionen von 1990. Für die Luftfahrt sind und werdenverschiedene Instrumente wirksam, die neben einer Änderung der Treibstoffe auch Steuernund Gebühren enthalten. Je nach...

This paper analyzes the effects of market structure on price dispersion in the airline industry, using panel data from 1993 through 2006. The results found in this paper contrast with those of Borenstein and Rose (1994), who found that price dispersion increases with competition. We find that...

This paper explores the effect of airline emissions charges on airfares, airline service quality, aircraft design features, and network structure, using a detailed and realistic theoretical model of competing duopoly airlines. These impacts are derived by analyzing the effects of an increase in...

Congestion has become a problem for many airports throughout the world. Two different policy options to control congestion are analyzed in this paper: slot constraints and congestion pricing. In particular, our model takes into account that the airline industry is characterized by significant...

This paper develops a methodology to assess transport infrastructure investments and their effects on a Nash equilibria taking into account competition between multiple privatized transport operator types. The operators, including high-speed rail, hub and spoke legacy airlines and low cost...

Conventional economic wisdom suggests that congestion pricing would be an appropriate response to cope with the growing congestion levels currently experienced at many airports. Several characteristics of aviation markets, however, may make naive congestion prices equal to the value of marginal...

This paper investigates the response of full service carriers (FSCs) to theentry of low-cost carriers (LCCs). We develop a model of airline competition, which accommodates various market structures, some ofwhich include low-cost players. Using data on published airfares ofLufthansa, British...

We study the consumer welfare effects of mergers in airline networks. Based on the development of a general classification of affected routes, we apply a difference-indifferences approach to exemplarily investigate the price effects of the America West Airlines - US Airways merger completed in...
