Working Papers from University of Chile, Department of Economics

Abstract: We investigate the determinants of open skies agreements among Latin-American countries, focusing on the impact of having a dominant airline on the willingness of countries to sign agreements with others. We find that, overall, the likelihood of signing agreements increases with trade volume, passenger traffic, and distance. In relation to our main question, we find that a having a dominant airline decreases the probability that third countries concede open skies agreement.
