Title: Price Elasticities of Demand for Passenger Air Travel
Abstract: This discussion paper resulted in an article in the <I>Journal of Air Transport Management</I> (2002). Volume 8, issue 3, pages 165-175.<P>

The demand for air transport is largely determined by the spending capacity of customers. Thispaper aims to offer more insight into the determinants of price elasticities in the aviation sector. Itseeks to identify both common and contrasting factors that influence the price elasticities, on thebasis of a comparative analysis among a large number of empirical studies in this field. By meansof meta-analytical methods the relative importance of several driving forces (e.g., distance, type ofticket, nature of study etc.) is investigated.
