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...

This paper examines forms of airport regulation and privatization, taking into account of behavior of public administration and both the aeronautical and non-aeronautical services. We find that with higher costs associated with public operations, a public airport cannot be identified as a...
