This paper provides a partial summary of the 2003 ATRS (Air Transport Research Society) Global Airport Benchmarking Report which uses the annual data for 2000-2001. The objective of the ATRS benchmarking report is to measure and compare the performance of several important aspects of airport...

This paper analyzes the economic effects of the code-sharing alliances between an international and a domestic airline. If these two allied airlines and a separate unallied international airline endogenously choose the role of fare-leader or fare-follower, two types of Stackelberg equilibria...

Unlike the standard economic theory assumes, airport activities yield various kinds of outputs such as passenger loading/unloading, aircraft movements, and cargo handling, while sharing the same set of inputs. Therefore, measuring the efficiency of the airport activities gives rise to a method...

This paper develops a game theoretic model that analyzes the competition for hub location when airlines operate in deregulated intercontinental markets. The whole process is viewed as a dynamic game of complete information played in two stages: location and competition. In the location stage,...

This paper explores the robustness of the one-dimensional screening model with respect to increasing the number of instruments and the number of characteristics. We study a case of nonlinear pricing (2 instruments (2 routes on which the airline provides customers with services), 2...

Existing approaches to the economic regulation of airports are currently under (or just completed) review in the UK and New Zealand. One of the most critical issues facing policy-makers is whether it is preferable to adopt a single-till or dual-till approach. This paper aims to analyse the...

This paper establishes the rationale for a method that recognises the interdependency of choices made by two or more agents, known as interactive agency choice experiments (IACEs), and the behavioural implications of maintaining the assumption of agency exogeneity in discrete choice models. We...

This paper undertakes two tasks: measurement of seaport infrastructure productivity growth in North America from 1984 to 1997, and exploration of several theorized causal relationships between infrastructure productivity and industry structure and conduct. A methodology is presented, data...

In spite of deregulation on the air-transportation markets, many connections are still operated by a single operator on regional markets, in particular in Europe. Evidence thus calls for some regulation in this industry. There is, however, a great concern for the (possibly negative) consequences...
