Specifically, we exploit the fact that Morocco was the only country in North Africa to sign such an agreement and that the pre-liberalization traffic in all North African countries presented a common trend. We use data at the route level for the period 2003-2010 to run difference-in-differences regressions and to test for heterogeneous responses. We find a 20-40% increase in the number of seats offered on pre-existing routes and a notable increase in the number of new routes offered.18 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier Ltd, 2017http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esTransport aeriDesregulacióRelacions internacionalsRelacions bilateralsCommercial aeronauticsDeregulationInternational relationsBilateral relationsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6764772018-02-15info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
