Evidence from the US airlines -- Conclusion. 330 $aThis book sheds new light on aviation policies? unintended effects and consequences, especially regarding infrastructure, environment, and consumer protection. The book provides the reader with the first systematic quantitative analyses of the impacts of airlines? strategic reactions to the introduction of airport slot markets, aviation fuel tax, and consumer protection rules. Through extensive empirical investigations, the author reveals that aviation policies based on the regulations and tax can produce both intended and unintended effects and consequences. Although the introduction of airport slot markets was expected to enhance airline competition, airlines? manipulative behaviors have impeded the slot markets? effective functioning. Also, the aviation fuel tax can reduce emissions in the air transport market effectively, but the amount of the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions would be smaller in the longer term due to the rebound effect. Finally, the consumer protection rules, e.g., the tarmac delay rule of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) significantly reduced tarmac delays; however, the DOT?s investigations of tarmac delay incidents triggered the investigated airlines? risk-averse behavior, which increased flight cancelations and gate departure delays to avoid violating the rule. The analyses suggest that the most effective way of regulation depends on conditions unique to each policy area; the government should design interventions that circumvent strategic behaviors of subjects or groups that the interventions affect. This book is highly relevant to academics and practitioners interested in understanding the interactive effects between policy interventions and firms? strategic reactions. 606 $aTransportation 606 $aIndustrial policy 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aStatistics 606 $aComparative government 606 $aTransportation Economics 606 $aRegulation and Industrial Policy 606 $aPolicy Evaluation 606 $aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance 606 $aComparative Public Policy 615 0$aTransportation. 615 0$aIndustrial policy. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 14$aTransportation Economics. 615 24$aRegulation and Industrial Policy. 615 24$aPolicy Evaluation. 615 24$aStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance. 615 24$aComparative Public Policy. 676 $a388.049 700 $aFukui$b Hideki$01844501 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911021147103321 996 $aAviation Policies$94427149 997 $aUNINA
