We consider a multi-period, limited capacity, unsegmented airline pricing model whose solution returns a sequence of increasing prices based on the order of sale. We show that a positive demand shock corresponding to an increase in the arrival rate reduces within-period price dispersion and has...

We propose a new approach to identify unobserved consumer types and assess whether firms price discriminate. We use a finite mixture structure to separate between consumer types under incomplete information. Unlike other screening schemes that rely on quantity discounts or product...

Deregulation in the airline industry has forced full service airlines to change their strategies in order to respond to increasing challenges. In this paper, an econometric analysis of the possible determinants of economic performance of full service airlines after liberalisation has been...

Spain is the only large European country in which airport management is strictly centralized and publicly owned. This peculiar institutional setting prevents competition among Spanish airports, and policy makers and bureaucrats in charge of the system regularly justify it on grounds of...

En este artículo realizamos un breve análisis de la estructura productiva de la industria aeroportuaria. Dicho análisis se efectúa mediante el enfoque neoclásico de la función dual de costes. Utilizamos, para ello, la función translogarítmica de costes conjuntos, la cual, dada su...

We study the link between air accessibility (measured by non-stop flights offer) and the manufacturing export of the Italian regions in Europe using a panel of 12,000 half-yearly observations ranging from 1998 to 2010. The analysis shows that the supply of non-stop flights provided by...

This article provides jet fuel demand projections at the worldwide level and for eight geographical zones until 2025. Air traffic forecasts are performed using dynamic panel-data econometrics. Then, the conversion of air traffic projections into quantities of jet fuel is accomplished by using a...

This paper uses an original panel dataset with posted prices and sales to estimate a dynamic demand. We find that consumers become more price sensitive as time to departure nears which is consistent with having lower valuations. This result provides empirical support to a key theoretical...

This paper uses a unique U.S. airlines panel data set to empirically study the dynamic pricing of inventories with uncertain demand over a finite horizon. I estimate a dynamic pricing equation and a dynamic demand equation that jointly characterize the adjustment process between prices and sales...
