Project Description

Summary: In order to use input-output model to appraise the impact of flight delay on China economy in 2013, the study constructs an air passenger demand and air ticket fare simultaneous equations to measure the economic output changed by flight delay in Chinese air transportation industry. The air ticket fare model includes one dependent variables of logarithm of ticket fare, and 6 independent variables which are lagged value of delay, logarithm of passengers, logarithm of route distance, logarithm of market competition, time and a dummy variable of named busy airport. The air passenger demand model includes one dependent variables of logarithm of passengers, and 5 independent variables which are lagged value of delay,logarithm of ticket fare,logarithm of income, logarithm of GDP and time variable.
The data of the variables are collected from 2011-2013. Air route data, including airport code,ticket fare,passengers,route distance are retrieved from Official Aviation Guide(OAG) with permission. Market competition(HHI) is calculated based the passengers data. The delay data are retrieved from Civil Aviation University of China with perimission. Busy airport is judged with the airport traffic data pulished publicly by Civil Aviation Administration of China.Income and GDP data are retrieved from Statistical Yearbook of each city published publicly

Scope of Project

Subject Terms: economics; air transportation; flight delay

Geographic Coverage: China

Time Period(s): 2011 – 2013

Data Type(s): administrative records data

Collection Notes: There are two kinds of delay in the dataset. Delaylag-A is one of the delay kinds which occurs when flight actual arrival time is later than scheduled arrival time,which is used in air ticket fare model. Delaylag-SA is the interval added to optimal flight time to establish the flight schedule, which is used in the air passenger demand model.
Herfindahl- Hirschman index(HHI) is used to appraise air market competition extent.
Busy is a dummy variable set to be 1 if the departure or arrival airport is a busy airport and 0 otherwise. The busy airport is defined as the airport with the yearly throughput more than 10 million passengers.

Methodology

Sampling: The data collection is a pooled cross-sectional time-series of 9 airlines over a period of 3 years (2011-2013), resulting in 4663 observations.

Data Source: The data are collected from 2011-2013. Air route data, including airport code,ticket fare,passengers,route distance are retrieved from Official Aviation Guide(OAG) with permission. Market competition(HHI) is calculated based the passengers data. The delay data are retrieved from Civil Aviation University of China with perimission. Busy airport is judged with the airport traffic data pulished publicly by Civil Aviation Administration of China.Income and GDP data are retrieved from Statistical Yearbook of each city published publicly.
