Estimating the market power of airports in their catchment areas – a Europe-wide approach

Journal of Transport Geography, 2012, vol. 22, issue C, 10-18

Abstract: It is often argued that market regulation should only be applied to airports with significant degrees of market power, to avoid regulatory costs to exceed respective benefits. However, the measurement of airport market power is not a trivial issue, not least given the wide range of different market segments airports operate in. The aim of this paper is to develop a methodology for the assessment of airport market power which can be applied to the European airports.
