Resumen
We investigate the determinants of open skies agreements among Latin-American
countries, focusing on the impact of having a dominant airline on the willingness of
countries to sign agreements with others. We find that, overall, the likelihood of signing
agreements increases with trade volume, passenger traffic, and distance. In relation to our
main question, we find that a having a dominant airline decreases the probability that
third countries concede open skies agreement.
