Placing a monetary value on aircraft noise is necessary in order to assess the social cost inflicted by aviation. This need has given rise to a considerable amount of hedonic price (HP) studies on the relation between property values and aircraft noise, both published and unpublished. The...

This paper aims to map out various research and policy challenges inherent in the need to cope with climate change. Therefore, four critical domains are identified which will most likely be seriously affected by climate change. Next, both the global/general and the regional/specific dimensions...

We analyze the phenomenon of hub dominance by developing a model relating faresto distance, using the mainleg of intercontinental flights for scaling purposes. Our results indicate thatat least some of the major Europeancarriers place a mark up on flights originating from or going to their hubs.

This paper explores the phenomenon of ethnic entrepreneurship and migration in developing countries. Our focus is on the decision of migrants to choose a particular site for conducting entrepreneurial activities. A survey of literature is presented in the opening section, in which two...

In the paper a nested logit model is used to describe passenger preferencesconcerning airports and airlines. A statistical model for the passengers'sequential choice of airport and airline is calibrated. It appears that thechoice sequence first airport, then airline is statistically preferable...

In this paper a model, based on the nested multinomial logit model, is used to analyze airport competition and airline competition in a multiple airport region. It is shown that if the frequency elasticity of demand is smaller than 1, airfare-frequency and airport tax equilibria exist and are...

This paper aims to investigate the entrepreneurial migrants’ preferences for a location for businessactivities in developing countries. In the modelling framework six socio-economic and six socio-cultural variables are used in this study to investigate the migrants’ propensity to stay at...

The Spatial Interaction Model proposed by Alonso as Theory ofMovements offers a new specification of spatial origin-destination flow models. Equations for flows between regions, totaloutflow from and total inflow to a region are linked bybalancing factors. The paper presents a consistent...
