Value of travel time, price and income elasticities Sample Clauses

Value of travel time, price and income elasticities. Understanding a passenger’s willingness to pay as well as the reaction to a price increase of a particular travel alternative is very valuable in the determination of different passenger profiles. This section hence outlines important factors and shows differences in regard to region covered or passenger type considered. Value of time (willingness to pay) The amount of money a passenger is willing to pay in order to save a unit (i.e. minute) in travel time, keeping overall utility constant. Price elasticity of demand The (percentage) change in the amount demanded (i.e. of a travel alternative) considering a one per cent change in the price of this alternative. Income elasticity of demand The (percentage) change in the amount demanded (i.e. of a travel alternative) considering a one per cent change in the income of a person (traveller). Different studies elaborate on passengers’ willingness to pay and respective values of time in regard to air travel as well as other transport modes (see Table 6). These values strongly depend on the various factors outlined in the previous sections and depicted in Figure 26. User characteristics Household composition Trip purpose Value of (travel) time External factors Local environment Weather Travel conditions Urban vs. inter- urban journeys Waiting and walking times Amount of time savings Interchange facilities Use of travel time Time of day In regard to air travel, a range of studies investigated the airport access choice parameters including time and price of different alternatives. Tsamboulas et al. (2008) consider the case of Athens airport and passengers’ willingness to pay in order to reduce airport access time. The authors differentiate by travel purpose, access mode, and passenger origin. The results imply that business travellers have a higher willingness to pay, that willingness to pay of private mode users exceeds that of public transport ones, and interurban travellers have a higher one than urban passengers. Although only tested for the case of Athens, this study gives important insight into the distinction by different parameters. Xxxx et al. (2003) also assess airport access choice, here with an application to potentially competing airports in the San Francisco Bay Area. The results show that leisure passengers are more sensitive to air fares than business passengers and that the latter are more sensitive to flight frequencies. The decision making factors hence differ by passenger type. General 83% 25-50% ...

  • Target Fair Market Value The Company agrees that the Target Business that it acquires must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding any taxes) at the time of signing the definitive agreement for the Business Combination with such Target Business. The fair market value of such business must be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and book value. If the Board of Directors of the Company is not able to independently determine that the target business meets such fair market value requirement, the Company will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm, or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions. The Company is not required to obtain such an opinion as to the fair market value if the Company’s Board of Directors independently determines that the Target Business does have sufficient fair market value.
