Abstract

This paper provides new empirical evidence on the efficiency of Italian airports. Analysing data on 2010 trough conditional efficiency measures, we find that competition affects mostly the frontier of best performers, whilst airports that are lagging behind are less influenced by it. By applying a novel two stage approach, we show that competition has an inverse U-shape impact. Finally, the bi-modal shape of the distribution of pure efficiency indicates the existence of two differently managed groups of airports.
