Passengers can buy souvenirs, food and beverages or rent a car at the airport or in the city-center. This paper develops a basic model with unit demands for airport ancillary and city-center demands (passengers may park their one car and not many) to derive equilibrium pricing strategies of...

It shows that intertemporal price dispersion is strongly reduced by competition because flights booked close to departure time are on average priced substantially lower when competition...

This paper takes up the debate whether price-cap regulation of airports should take the form of single-till or dual-till regulation. The contribution is to model single- and dual-till regulation, evaluate their welfare implications, and compare them to Ramsey prices. We show that the single-till...
