The Impacts Study of GRDP and Carbon Emission Caused by the Airline Routes Deregulation

Abstract

Japanese international airline routes deregulation “Asia open sky” will promote to start direct flights between airports in Japan and the major airports in Asia. They increase not only gross regional domestic products (GRDP) around these airports but carbon emission. This paper estimated these increases with special econometrics model (SAR model). Such routes between the hub airports in oversea and the local airports in Japan increase GRDP of East and Southeast Asia 0.006% higher. That spills the increase of GRDP over regions near by these airports. The value of carbon emission impacts is quite smaller.
