External productivity and utility effects of city airports, Regional Studies. This paper uses a micro-level data set for residential and commercial property transactions to investigate external utility and productivity effects for three (city) airports in Berlin, Germany, in a spatial hedonic...

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...

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...

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...

Conventional economic models in airport regulation assume, that airports have considerable market power and may exploit it against airlines. Given, that many airports are served by only a limited number of airlines, mono- or oligopsony relationships may exist. This paper relaxes therefore this...

This paper offers a simple approach for identifying propagated departure delays and measuring their contribution to arrival delays. Under our approach, a propagated departure delay occurs when the arrival delay of the inbound flight exceeds the subsequent flight's ground buffer. The size (or...

Many passengers can choose among various destinations for their flight trips (for instance, a leisure trip from Asia to Europe or the US). A major feature of the present study is to incorporate substitute air services for origin-destination passengers into the analysis of equilibrium airport...

A study on marketing mix and decisional factors on airline carrier among Thai freight forwarder aims to investigate the general behavior of the airline carrier selective decision for the freight forwarder in Thailand. It focuses on the use of international outbound freight services in Bangkok...

We study airport slot allocation problems during weather-induced congestion. These real-life matching problems are important to airlines as the costs of delays are significant compared to their profits. We introduce a new mechanism, Multiple Trading Cycles (MTC), to allocate landing slots. In...

We use unique data sets with round-the-clock posted fares and a regression discontinuity design to identify price discrimination in advance-purchase discounts. Price discrimination increases fares by 14% between two and one week before departure, and by 7.6% between three and two weeks to...
