Key design options like the scheme’s geographical scope, the baseline year(s), cap and allocation of allowances, and – in the case of aviation – the relationship with CORSIA, can have impacts on the competitive situation of EU carriers and vessels. This is the first stage in the research project focusing on the implementation and socio-economic perspectives related to the eventual inclusion of aviation and maritime in the EU ETS system.

This paper presents an analysis on how different competitors simultaneously adjust their prices in the short-run. The empirical model accounts for dynamic price variations, exploring both intramodal and intermodal price competition. The results, based on 12.506 price observations, show that intermodal competition presents some kind of asymmetric behavior, with airlines

  • Self-Enhancement Driven First-Class Airline Travelers’ Behavior: the Moderating Role of Third-Party Certification
    sustainability Article Self-Enhancement Driven First-Class Airline Travelers’ Behavior: The Moderating Role of Third-Party Certification Jinkyung Jenny Kim 1 , Kwangyong Kim 2 and Jinsoo Hwang 1,* 1 The College of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Korea; [email protected] 2 Korean Standards Association, Seoul 08056, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 May 2019; Accepted: 10 June 2019; Published: 14 June 2019 Abstract: This study was designed with a focus on self-enhancement by flying in first class to understand the intricate associations in the formation of well-being, brand attachment, and word-of-mouth. In addition, this study aimed to examine the moderating effect of third-party certification among consequent variables. For this, data were collected from 199 first-class airline travelers. A quantitative method that was comprised of structural equation modeling and multiple-group analysis wasused to test the research hypotheses. Our findings revealed that both achievement and power were significant drivers of well-being perception of first-class airline travelers and their perceived well-being contributed to building positive brand attachment and word-of-mouth. The association between brand attachment and word-of-mouth was also statistically supported. Furthermore, the moderating role of third-party certification was identified in the causal relationship between well-being perception and brand attachment. Implications were discussed along with diverse approaches for customized and exclusive offerings such as butler services pre- and post-flights or during transit at airports, and mini stretching sessions in flights to improve self-enhancement during the whole journey of a first-class experience.
