Abstract: | This paper tests whether the observed dominance of most city-pair markets and airports in the US domestic airline industry by single carriers confers any pricing power on the dominant firms. The results of fixed-effects estimation indicate that airport dominance by a carrier does confer upon it substantial pricing power, whereas dominance at the route level seems to confer no such pricing power. Additionally, the authors find a positive, yet small, correlation between both route concentration, and price and airport concentration and price. |
