Low-Cost Carriers and Low Fares: Competition and Concentration in the U.S. Airline Industry
This analysis will examine the current structure of the domestic airline market to determine the amount of market power incumbent carriers wield, the market dynamics that exist in short haul and long haul routes, and the impact of a new breed of air carrier, the low-cost carrier, on the distribution of airfares. The analysis seeks to determine if a low-cost carrier’s presence on a route significantly impacts airfares. This paper argues that previous analyses may overestimate the effect of route concentration, hubs, and other route specific characteristics on the distribution of market prices. The emerging significance of the low-cost carrier may indicate a shift in the structure of the airline market away from hub-and-spoke networks and towards point-to-point networks. The significance of low-cost carriers suggests that government policies that enforce antitrust laws at hub airports may be ineffective; moreover, encouraging low-cost entry, through equal access to infrastructure, compacts the fare distribution and lowers the median fare.

Historically high divergence in unemployment rates between strong and weak segments of the labor market contributes to high long-term unemployment, which is challenging to mitigate through fiscal and monetary policy. This structural challenge means that the Fed will maintain low rates for an extended period, past the Q2 2015 consensus. During the next year equities are attractive, while low inflation and modest growth means commodities are not.
