Conclusion. 330 $aThis book presents an original empirical investigation of the market structure of airline city pair markets, shedding new light on the workings of competitive processes between firms. Examining a cross-section of US airline city pairs, Tabacco proposes for the first time that the industry can be understood as a natural oligopoly, each airline market being dominated by one to three airline carriers regardless of market size. The author questions the extent to which airlines deliberately prevent head-to-head competition within city pair markets, and draws intriguing conclusions about competitive forces from the observed market structure. Uncovering some of the main corporate strategies of the airline industry, the book is of immediate relevance to industry managers and practitioners, as well as academic economists. Giovanni Tabacco is Assistant Professor of Economics at Swansea University School of Management, Wales. Prior to this he worked in the Economics Department of the University of Bologna, Italy. His research interests include industrial organization, experimental economics and competition policy, and competition economics. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aLeadership 606 $aTourism 606 $aManagement 606 $aEconomic theory 606 $aIndustrial Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aBusiness Strategy/Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010 606 $aTourism Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527050 606 $aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aTourism. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aEconomic theory. 615 14$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy/Leadership. 615 24$aTourism Management. 615 24$aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods. 676 $a338.6 700 $aTabacco$b Giovanni Alberto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0981428 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151860403321 996 $aAirline Economics$92240056 997 $aUNINA
