“…The other airlines would reduce theirs a 31% in Málaga and would almost disappear in the route Madrid-Zaragoza. These results are more robust than those described in Park and Ha (2006) or in other descriptive works as other possible variables affecting the air transport operations are controlled through econometric means, allowing the delimitation of the specific effects of the HSR.…”

“…In spite of having available a vast amount of industrial organization literature about competition on air transport markets, the references regarding the HSR's impact on the air transport sector are more reduced. The works by Park and Ha (2006), Campos andGagnepain (2009), Gouvister (2010) or Albalate and Bel (2010) summarise most of the HSR experiences throughout the world, but none of them determine specifically the air companies' reaction when the HSR enters the market. As far as we know, only Biloktach et al (2010) take into account the existence (not the effect of HSR´s entrance) of HSR in their analysis of the effects of distance upon competition among the air sector, private cars and railways.…”

“…With 471 kilometres, this route experienced a reduction in the weight of air transport from 40% to 13%. In turn the railway mode increased his weight from 16% to 51% (Park and Ha, 2006;or EC, 1996). Currently, year 2010, there are three additional routes in which the HSR operates, though the social evaluation of such projects is quite doubtful (see De Rus and Román, 2006, for the case of the routes Madrid-Barcelona and Madrid-Zaragoza).…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractPlans for the development of high speed railways lines (HSR) in Spain are widespread. At the beginning of 2010 four HSR lines were operating in routes where the air transport mode used to be dominant. In this paper we examine through econometric means the air carriers' reaction to these HSR entrances by using data at the route level. We test whether the HSR have changed both, the airlines' frequencies and the market shares. Our results show that it has reduced on average the number of air transport operations by 17 percent. On the other hand the demand has increased substantially, though the weight of air transport in the total market has been reduced, as it has been reduced the weight of the dominant Spanish air carrier Iberia on air markets.

“…The first HSR between two European cities, Paris and Lyon, began operations in 1981. Park and Ha (2006) report that this HSR connection caused the passenger aviation market share to tumble from 30 to 15 percent. This was a first indication that HSR can compete strongly with air transport in medium distance transport markets.…”

Terms of use: Documents in Abstract.This paper studies inter-and intramodal competition in the London-Paris passenger market. Using revealed preference data, we estimate nested and mixed multinomial logit models to examine passenger behaviour in the London-Paris market. We present a case study on the relocation of Eurostar services from Waterloo International to St Pancras International station.The results show that competition is present in this market. Demand is elastic, and passengers are heterogeneous in their valuation of fares and accessibility. Aviation and high-speed rail are homogenous in unobserved effects. The large market share of the Eurostar and the withdrawal of aviation alternatives indicate that competition will decline in the long-run.
