besterlinks Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Hey,I am writing my Economics Extended Essay on the influence of non-price determinants on the demand for airline companies in my city. Specifically, I am discussing such factors as access to lounge, in-flight dining etc vis-a-vis prices. However, I feel my content is extremely qualitative/empirical and more focused on behavorial economics. Any ideas/suggestions for solid economics theories? I tried thinking about elasticities but can't figure out a way to apply them.Thanks! Edited October 8, 2013 by besterlinks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluestocking Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 What are the factors affecting the elasticities (substitutes, proportion of income spent, time, luxury v/s necessities) and the degree to which they influence the price making decisionsMarket Structures (Oligopoly) and the extent of the market structure, non price factors and product differentiation on decision (game theory)Cross price elasticity (comparing elasticities across airlines) and its influencesHope this is helpful.
