Transportation Student Earns Best Paper Award for Airline ResearchPosted: May 16, 2014
Park's paper, "The Magnitudes of Economic and Non-Economic Factors in Demand for U.S. Domestic Air Passengers," analyzed air carriers' behavior in capturing market share by examining demand for air-passenger services, and price structure and economic factors affecting passenger behaviors toward air travel. The study also examined other non-economic factors such as seasonality, unexpected events, or airline mergers affecting passenger behaviors. Co-author of the paper was Dr. Won W. Koo, Chamber of Commerce distinguished professor in the NDSU Department of Agribusiness & Applied Economics. The Annual Forum was held in San Jose, CA, March 13-15. |
Ju Dong Park, a NDSU transportation and logistics Ph.D. student, recently was awarded the Best Paper Award from the Transportation Research Forum at its 55th Annual Forum.
