Abstract: | This article deals with the relationship between price discrimination (hereafter as: pr-d.) and concentration (here as: c-n.) in intra-European routes. Data on ticket prices of all flights from Nice Airport, France to European destinations is used. The objective is to analyze how pr-d. is affected by c-n. Ticket restrictions are used as proxies for pr-d. It is shown that c-n. measured by the inequality of market shares affects the sensitivity of airline prices to purchase restrictions positively, meaning that c-n. and pr-d. are negatively related. |
