This study explores the relation between airline market structure and schedule differentiation. Using a location theory framework applied to product differentiation over the time scale, the analysis relates the level of competition, and the presence of low-cost carriers in non-stop US markets to schedule clustering. As expected from theory, it is found that schedule clustering increases with competition, resulting in reduction in product differentiation. It is also found that this tendency is lower in the presence of low-cost carriers and when there is a strong hub effect where dominant hub airline own, rather than compete with their feeder subsidiaries.

Analysis of gas prices for Turkey from 2003-2011 Wilberforce, Kiribaki; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl; Department of Statistics (2012) This study aimed to construct a forecasting model for gas prices in Turkey using Univariate time series analysis. The best model was developed after assessing the forecasting performances for both Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model and Exponential Smoothing (ES) model. Firstly, we fitted different combinations of both ARIMA and SARIMA models (from which the best model was chosen) by using the monthly oil prices from January 2003 to December 2011. The ES model was automatically ...
Approximation of sell-out probability to estimate expected marginal value of capacity Selçuk, Ahmet Melih; Avşar, Zeynep Müge (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) © 2020 Elsevier LtdIn this study, the dynamic pricing problem is considered for single-leg airline revenue management. The dynamic programming formulation given for this problem is expressed in terms of the expected marginal revenue of capacity. In order to make the formulation applicable in practice, approximations are proposed in this study for estimating the expected marginal revenue term. Numerical tests based on simulating the sales process show that the proposed approximations work well as compared to...
On the value of information in dynamic production inventory problems under forecast evolution Gullu, R (1996-03-01) In this article we explore how total system costs and inventory positions are affected when forecasts are incorporated explicitly in production/inventory systems. We assume that forecasts for demand of a certain item are available in each period, and they evolve from one period to the next in accordance with an additive evolution model. In order to analyze the effects of the forecasts on the production/inventory system we compare the optimal ordering policy and the expected costs of the model that keeps for...
Medium-Term Electricity Demand Forecasting Based on MARS İlseven, Engin; Göl, Murat (2017-09-29) The paper proposes use of multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) method to perform monthly electricity demand forecasting for medium-term. The model is developed based on specific example of Turkey; however is applicable to any other system. Performance of the proposed method is compared to that of multiple linear regression (MLR), generalized additive model (GAM), and artificial neural networks (ANN) methods. The validation process shows that the proposed model outperforms the other ones by test e...
Measuring cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks : a stochastic frontier approach Güneş, Hakan; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2013) This study examines cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks through a stochastic frontier approach where the inefficiency effects are approximated by a set of bank-specific variables. Empirical results reveal that intermediation ratio, deposits divided by liabilities and labor per branch are the main determinants of the inefficiency of Turkish commercial banks. Moreover, it is observed that cost efficiency of all commercial banks has an upward trend until 2008 and it takes 10 quarters to recover from th...
