Based on two strands of theoretical research, this paper provides new evidence on how fares are jointly affected by in-flight seat availability and purchasing date. As capacity-driven theories predict, it emerges that fares monotonically and substantially increase with the flights occupancy...

We analyze two different cases of entry regulation in professional markets: first, when licensing is a requirement for becoming a professional (lawyers); second, when entry and price restrictions are applied on a geographical basis (pharmacists). Both cases are investigated within a circular...

It is often assumed that the airlines' fares increase monotonically over time, peaking a few days before the departure. Using fares for about 650 thousand flights operated by both Low-Cost and Full Service Carriers, we show several instances in which the monotonic property does not hold. We also...

We investigate the pricing behaviour of firms facing date-specific demand shocks, by focussing on Parisian hotels during a big event, the 2016 European Football Cup. Using a unique dataset, we document an initial propensity to set the same price for rooms on different match dates, although...

Online platforms often impose Price Parity Clauses to prevent sellers from charging lower prices on alternative sales channels. We provide quasi-experimental evidence on the full removal of Price Parity Clauses in France in 2015 for hotels listed on Booking.com. Our analysis reveals significant...

This study addresses two issues relating to the pricing behaviour of European airlines: 1) whether an airline's dominant position at the origin airport, at the route and the city-pair level affects the airlines' market power; 2) whether fares follow a monotonic time path consistent with the...
