| Summary: | This paper analyzes the effects of airline alliances on partner airlines' outputs by comparing traffic changes on alliance routes with those on non-alliance routes.

It is found that most of the partners have greater traffic increases on their alliance routes than those on their non-alliance routes, supporting a hypothesis derived from the theoretical model. strategic alliance North Atlantic markets output changes |
