“…Some studies found no significance [17], but others showed a more complex relationship: the development of urbanization promoting the optimal allocation of energy resources and agglomeration effects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions [18]. Other research proves the existence of urbanization with the environmental Kuznets curve as an inverted U-shaped curve [14,19].…”

Abstract:To gain a greater understanding of the spatial spillover effect of greenhouse gas emissions and their influencing factors, this paper provides a spatial analysis of four gas pollutants (CO 2 emissions, SO 2 emissions, NO x emissions, and dust emissions). Focusing on China, the paper also explores whether the four gas pollutants are influenced by the emissions of neighboring regions and other possible sources. The paper uses a global spatial autocorrelation analysis, local spatial association analysis and spatial lag model for empirical work. The results suggest that CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x emissions show significant positive results for both the spatial correlation and space cluster effect in provincial space distribution.CO 2 and NO x emissions have a significant positive spillover effect, while the SO 2 emissions' spatial spillover effect is positive but not significant. Economic growth and urbanization are the key determinants of CO 2 , dust, and NO x emissions, while energy efficiency and industrialization do not appear to play a role. This raises questions about the method of examining the spatial relationship between gas pollution, economic growth and urbanization in the future.

“…Airports are increasingly part of multi-airport systems (MAS) (de Neufville, 1995;Derudder et al, 2010), implying multiple gateways for accessing metropolitan areas. Recent research has shown that LCCs not only influence pricing and traffic patterns at the airports they serve, but also at the other airports in a MAS (Brueckner et al, 2013;Tierney and Kuby, 2008;Vowles, 2001).…”

This paper explores factors influencing the pricing behaviour of full-service carriers in hub-to-hub markets, which to date have rarely been the exclusive focus of research. Drawing on a 2009 dataset containing route and airfare information, we estimate a pricing model for hub-to-hub markets in the United States. Our econometric analysis suggests that an airport's position in carriers' hub hierarchies, competition from low-cost carriers, and other market structure variables influence average airfares.

“…Such information is important in assessing uncertainties and risks of future investments in airport infrastructure in the country. Attention should also be paid here to the specific concentration and dispersal mechanisms behind traffic development in multi-airport regions (De Neufville, 1995;Derudder et al, 2010), such as the multi-airport system in Catalonia (Barcelona, Girona, Reus, Lleida 15 ), in Galicia (Santiago de Compostela, Vigo, A Coruña), in the Basque Country (Bilbo, Donostia-San Sebastián, Vitoria-Gasteiz), in Valencia and Murcia (Valencia, Alicante, Murcia), and in Andalucía (Sevilla, Málaga, Jerez de la Frontera, Granada, Almería).…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper analyzes the geography of seat capacity at Spanish airports between 2001 and 2008. Concentration and deconcentration patterns for different markets have been identified. For this purpose, we use the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the Concentration Ratio (CR) and the Lorenz curve. From our analysis, we conclude that seat capacity follows a deconcentration pattern due to the growth of low-cost carriers at small-and medium-sized Spanish airports. This is in line with earlier studies for Europe as a whole. Intercontinental seat capacity still remains very much concentrated in Madrid and, to a lesser extent, in Barcelona. However, new strategies by long-haul airlines bypassing the primary European hubs foster the deconcentration of seat capacity in the Asian and North American markets. In the case of Spain, the recent liberalization of the EU-US market may become an important enabler of such network strategies, e.g., Delta has operated a route from Valencia to New York-JFK since 2009. In other intercontinental markets, capacity is more and more concentrated in Madrid. We highlight the restructuring of Iberia's network as an important factor behind the increasing dominance of Madrid in intercontinental markets.
