No full textKenneth Button, Deregulierung der britischen Busdienste
Wie haben sich die zwischen-und innerstädtischen Busdienste seit den Gesetzen von 1980 und 1985 verändert ? Die aus Konkurrenzgründen erfolgten starken Tarifermäßigungen sind nicht beibehalten worden ; das Material wurde verbessert ; der Verkehr hat zugenommen. Aber die Auswirkungen der Konkurrenz werden vom Gewicht der Vergangenheit durchkreuzt.Kenneth Button, Disruption in the British bus services

The importance of former colonial patterns in Africa on the market for airline services
No full textThis paper focuses on trends in the geographical distribution of air transportation growth in Africa paying particular attention to the overhanging legacy effects of the historical economic-political structures of the continent on emerging patterns of airline development. In particular, we examine the role of the colonial pasts on clusters of air movements between African countries from 1997 to 2011. Of particular interest is whether the patterns of air service supply have changed over this period, and, if so, whether there has been a movement away from any linkages that may have existed between the old colonial blocks
The Role of Strategic Airline Alliances in Africa
No full textThis paper considers the impact of strategic airline alliances on African aviation. Globally, there has
been an ongoing trend towards airlines coordinating their activities via strategic alliances and joint
ventures. These alliances affect market competition, including the quality and costs of services
provided. Despite the economic benefits found in prior analyses of alliances in other markets, the
study of alliance participation by African airlines is very limited. Our empirical analysis indicates
that membership of one of the three global alliances could, by expanding their market presence,
benefit African airlines. It would add to their passenger flows and enhance their economic efficiency
