摘要 Abstract of the paper |
This paper explores the effect of market structure on
quality determination for complementary products. The focus is on the airline
industry and the effect of airline alliances on flight frequency, an
important element of service quality. With zero layover cost, the choice of
flight frequencies has the same double-marginalization structure as in the
usual alliance model, leading to a higher frequency in the alliance case as
double marginalization is eliminated, along with a lower full trip price and
higher traffic. The surprising result of the paper emerges with high-cost
layover time, where double marginalization in frequencies is absent and where
an alliance reduces service quality via a lower frequency, with the full
price potentially rising (in which case traffic falls). |
