Economics of Transportation, 2017, vol. 10, issue C, 18-22

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of the crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 on the domestic fares of the crash carrier, using a difference-in-difference approach. The results show that the crash reduced fares of Alaska Airlines relative to those of its competitors only in the months right after the crash, indicating that the financial ramifications are not persistent.
