4.題目 "Unilateral Greenhouse Gas Control Measures and the Aviation Industry: A Theoretical Analysis"
5.概要 This paper analytically examines the effects of unilateral greenhouse gas (GHG) control measures on the aviation industry and global GHG emissions. Our results suggest that such measures may lead to an increase in aviation fees charged by the implementing country. The increased fees may weaken the competitiveness of its domestic airlines, relative to its foreign competitors, in the air travel market. At the same time, domestic connecting flights between hub and spoke airports may be shifted outside the country, which may result in an increase in global emissions. This result emphasizes the importance of adopting a global sectoral approach to deal with aviation GHG emissions.
