Abstract

The paper explores links between the operating performance of 30 airlines in the US and corporate governance. Initially data envelopment analysis is used to assess the relative efficiency of airlines and to investigate the contribution of inputs and outputs that affect technical efficiency. Efficiency decomposition combined with cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling is used to explore competitive advantage of airlines. Finally, the question of whether or not corporate governance affects the airlines’ performance is examined.
