To capture the inherent complementarity of cross-border air travel services, we explicitly model these markets as bilateral vertical structures, where two international airlines provide complementary services to each other before setting airfares for passengers' entire trips. We analyze equilibrium outcomes under various cooperation regimes, including simple interlining, codesharing (with and without antitrust immunity), and joint ventures. Coordinated pricing of complementary services helps alleviate double marginalization, benefiting interline passengers and enhancing airline profits. However, as cooperation deepens toward merger-like integration, the risk of collusion may ultimately harm both consumer and social welfare. These outcomes are critically affected by economic factors such as the degree of substitutability among competing airline services, the type of revenue-sharing schemes, the relative size of the markets involved, and the presence of traffic-density economies on the interhub route.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Industrial Organization","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 103202"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145266613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs a structural model of oligopolistic competition to explore SP designs that effectively induce such replacements by examining the Japanese passenger vehicle market during the financial crisis. To analyze the SP using market-level data, a straightforward method for estimating demand that incorporates data on aggregate program outcomes is proposed. Counterfactual simulations based on the model estimates yield the following insights for designing cost-effective SPs. First, attribute-based subsidies—where fuel economy thresholds for program eligibility of vehicle models for purchase decline with vehicle weight—can encourage infra-marginal clunker owners to choose more fuel-efficient vehicles, but are less effective at inducing replacements among marginal clunker owners than uniform threshold subsidies. Second, under a fixed government subsidy budget, mandating firms to share program costs can substantially increase replacements among marginal clunker owners, though at the cost of a lower average fuel economy for newly purchased vehicles.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48127,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Industrial Organization","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 103203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145265905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The archipelago's centuries old free-port regime allowed Canarian islanders access to imports. This resulted in a very different composition of automobile sales in the Canary Islands relative to other Spanish regions. Canarians' loyalty to Spanish domestic brands only converged to those of the rest of Spain years after Spain joined the European Union, once the tariff differential across regions was phased-out.
