The title of his talk is: "Aerial Connectivity and CO2 Emissions of the US and China Post-COVID: Insights from a Structural Model"

Abstract: The recovery of air transport connectivity after the COVID-19 pandemic has been very heterogeneous. For example, in August 2023, the number of direct flights between the US and China was only 6% of pre-pandemic levels, significantly lower than the recovery rates of other international routes. This reduction has led to higher prices and greater reliance on connecting flights, resulting in longer journey times and higher CO2 emissions. To analyze the impact of these changes, we developed a structural model (BLP) to assess the welfare and CO2 emissions implications of these supply constraints. Our results suggest that restoring direct flights between the US and China to pre-pandemic levels could increase passenger traffic by 571% (corresponding to a 12% increase over the pre-pandemic average), reduce prices by 59%, increase consumer surplus, improve the profits of American and Chinese airlines and reduce CO2 emissions per passenger by 18%. Despite these benefits, total CO2 emissions have decreased due to fewer flights. We propose a second counterfactual scenario in which the same CO2 reduction is achieved not by reducing flights, but by offsetting emissions at the higher CORSIA rate of $32 per ton. This approach could maintain pre-pandemic flight levels and increase both consumer surplus and airline profits by more than $30 million each, thereby achieving environmental goals without reducing service.
