机场高峰收费定价：高峰和统一收费的情况

2014/03/10

This paper develops a two-period model with peak/off-peak demands that incorporates three types of passengers：(1)passengers who are scheduled for peak departure and depart during the peak period, (2) passengers who are scheduled for peak departure but depart during the off-peak period because of congestion, and(3)passengers who are scheduled for off-peak departure. An increase in peak supply may turn own type-1 passengers into type-2 passengers,which is called self-imposed schedule delay. Our main result is that carriers with market power internalize self-imposed schedule delay costs.The investigation of a uniform-toll regime reveals that the welfare-optimal uniform toll corrects for external schedul delay only if schedule delay cost is sufficiently high.
