Features: This series of books takes network-based fundamental industries as the research subject, employing theories and methods of modern economics such as transaction cost theory, principal-agent theory, property rights theory, institutional change theory, regulatory theory, competitive theory, and emerging classical economics. The content is entirely focused on the economic analysis of different transportation modes and network-based fundamental industries such as telecommunications and electricity. Some books are relatively comprehensive, while most delve deeply into a single industry in a single volume, including several carefully selected translations. This book discusses the formation drivers of airline strategic alliances from an economic perspective, analyzes the network economics of airline strategic alliances, and, based on transaction cost economics, examines the cost savings achieved by airline alliances compared to market-based approaches.
