Abstract

Economic value added (EVA) is a well-known and widely used measure of operating performance. Bacidore, Boquist, Milbourn, and Thakor [1997] introduce a modified version of EVA called refined economic val-ue added (REVA). They claim that REVA is theoretically superior to EVA. Actually, EVA is theoretically superior to REVA.]
