主讲内容简介
We investigate the impact of the commencement of High-Speed Rail (HSR) services on airlines’ domestic available seats on affected routes in China, Japan and South Korea. The study is based on a dataset covering the 1994-2012 period. We use the propensity score matching method to pair HSR affected routes with routes without HSR services. The difference-in-difference approach is used to estimate the impact of HSR entry. On average HSR entries did not lead to a substantial cut in airlines’ seat capacity in Japan and Korea. However, there were strong negative impacts on routes in China where airlines started to reduce seat capacity two years prior to the entry of HSR on short-haul routes, but the medium-haul routes would lose seat capacity only in the second year after HSR entries and there was little impact on long-haul routes.
