Research in Transportation Economics, 2014, vol. 45, issue C, 57-65

Abstract: Ramsey pricing is considered to be a quasi-optimum pricing scheme designed for a multiproduct natural monopolist. Ramsey prices are optimal for airports with cost recovery problems, but are inefficient for busy airports. If so then it is interesting to check if current charges are close to the optimal one, and if not then why and by how much do they differ?
