Gravity models have long served as a framework for analyzing bilateral flows, trade and many other activities. To estimate a gravity model, (parametric) linear regression techniques have been commonly employed to develop the relationship between passenger flows and factors that can significantly...

This study uses 2006 and 2007 air passenger flows data between pairs of countries in APEC region to estimate parametric linear and a non-parametric regression tree models that examine relationships between flows and multiple factors, including distances, populations, gross domestic products, per...

We examine Taiwan-China air travel, using a stated-choice modeling to look at passengers’ decisions between nonstop flights and indirect flights with traditional full service carriers and nonstop flights with low cost carriers; and passengers’ willingness-to-pay for the low cost...
