Market Structure and Competition in Airline Markets
We provide an econometric framework for estimating a game of simultaneous entry and pricing decisions in oligopolistic markets while allowing for correlations between unobserved fixed costs, marginal costs, and demand shocks. Firms’ decisions to enter a market are based on whether they will realize positive profits from entry. We use our framework to quantitatively account for this selection pr...
متن کاملOnline Supplement: Market Structure and Competition in Airline Markets
This section closely follows Ciliberto and Tamer (2009) (henceforth CT), and we refer to that paper for further reading. We provide a set of sufficient conditions that guarantee point identification of the model parameters in equation (1) in the main text. These conditions are natural in this context and rely on large support regressors. Our inference methods do not require that these condition...
متن کاملEnvironmental Taxation in Airline Markets
Over the last two decades many airline markets have been deregulated, resulting in increased competition and use of different types of networks. At the same time there has been an intense discussion on environmental taxation of airline traffic. It is likely that an optimal environmental tax and the effects of a tax differ between different types of aviation markets. In this paper we derive opti...
متن کاملPrice of Airline Frequency Competition
Frequency competition influences capacity allocation decisions in airline markets and has important implications to airline profitability and airport congestion. Market share of a competing airline is a function of its frequency share and the relationship between the two is pivotal for understanding the impacts of frequency competition on airline business. Based on the most commonly accepted fo...
متن کاملContract optimization with front-end fare discounts for airline corporate deals
This paper develops a non-linear programming model to design optimal corporate contracts for airlines stipulating front-end discounts for all nets, which are defined by combination of routes, cabin types, and fare classes. The airline’s profit is modeled using a multinomial logit function that captures the client’s choice behavior in a competitive market. Alternative formulations are employed t...
