This paper develops an econometric model of flight delays to investigate the influence of competition and dominance on the incentives of carriers to maintain on-time performance. We consider both the route and the airport levels to inspect the local and global effects of competition, with a...

This paper develops an empirical model to examine the relationship between ownership change and two-sided-platform formation in the air transport industry. We investigate whether privatization enhances the dynamic capabilities of airports so that they more closely resemble a two-sided platform....

We empirically investigate the capacity adjustments of major incumbent airlines facing the entry of a new low cost carrier in a secondary airport of a multiple airports region. We examine the effects of the threat of product repositioning constituted by the newcomer migrating operations to...

This paper develops an empirical model of passenger demand for routes of airports subject to either imminent or recent privatization. We investigate whether the privatization process produces a sequential impact over traffic. By employing a regression-based event methodology and controlling for...

This study explores how the literature regarding internationalization of airline industry and New Institutional Economics (NIE) interconnect. Through a computational bibliometric analysis, an initial sample of 967 articles contemplating research between 1970 and 2018 is investigated to check...

This thesis aims at investigating the behaviour of airlines in recently liberalised markets, by making use of the Brazilian air transportation as a case study. In order to accomplish this objective, the following three essays were developed: a study of low cost carrier entry behaviour, an...
