本文扩展了最近关于低成本航空公司票价影响的研究，结合邻近机场的方法，提供了传统航空公司和低成本航空公司的竞争影响的综合图景。该分析衡量了市场内竞争(即机场对)和相邻竞争对这两类航空公司的影响，同时也捕捉到了来自低成本航空公司的潜在竞争的影响。此外，这一综合方法被分别应用于两种不同类型的市场，直达和连接，这两种市场以前没有在一项研究中同时处理。结果表明，大多数形式的传统运营商竞争对平均票价的影响较小。另一方面，低成本航空公司的竞争对票价产生了巨大的影响，无论是发生在机场对上，还是发生在邻近的机场，还是作为潜在的竞争。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper extends recent research on the fare impacts of low-cost carriers, incorporating its adjacent airport approach to offer a comprehensive picture of the competitive effects of both legacy carriers and low-cost carriers. The analysis measures the impact of in-market (i.e., airport-pair) competition and adjacent competition for both types of carriers, while also capturing the impact of potential competition from low-cost carriers. Moreover, this comprehensive approach is applied separately to two different types of markets, nonstop and connecting, which have not been simultaneously treated before within a single study. The results show that most forms of legacy-carrier competition have weak effects on average fares. Low-cost carrier competition, on the other hand, has dramatic fare impacts, whether it occurs on the airport-pair, at adjacent airports, or as potential competition. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
