| Tiivistelmä: | Airlines frequently use code-share agreements, which allow each other to sell seats on flights operated by partner airlines. Regulation may allow code-share agreements with antitrust immunity (cooperative price setting), or without it, or not at all. The relative welfare effects of these regulation regimes are compared on complementary airline networks. A critical point is that such agreements are used in identifying and price-discriminating interline passengers. The findings are that interline passengers always benefit from code-share agreements whereas non-interline passengers are worse off. Moreover, I show that the latter effect challenges the overall usefulness of code-share agreements from a welfare perspective. |
