  • Tobin’s q and Airline Performances

    Open AccessMichael Z F Li, Tae Hoon Oum et al.ARTICLEPublic Works Management & Policy2004References: 1

    This article studies the performance of the global airline industry by applying Tobin’s q, a financial market-based measure of firm value, as the primary measure.

There is a general p…

  • Competition and Allocative Efficiency

  • A Note on Capacity Utilization and Measurement of Scale Economies

    Tae Hoon Oum, Michael W Tretheway et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…1991

Caves, Christensen, and Swanson (CCS) proposed estimation of a variable-cost function and derived a formula for computing RTS from it. This article extends the CCS results by (a) investigating the bias that would result from erroneously using a total-cost function for measuring RTS, (b) indicating that the CCS procedure f…
