Hi L1011
Some papers re impact on aviation companies of accidents;-
Crisis in the Cockpit? The role of Market Forces in Promoting Air Travel Safety. The Journal of Law and Economics (my photocopy doesn't have the journal volume unfortunately)
The Impact of Catastrophes on Shareholder Value, The Oxford Executive Research Briefings (includes a consideration of ValuJet)
Market Forces and Commercial Aircraft Safety, The Journal of Industrial Economics Sept. 1987. p.61 (looks at the problem from the point of view of the aircraft manufacturer)
Safety Standards and Profitable Operations, Flight Safety Foundation 14th. Annual Int'l Air Safety Seminar, 1961. (a bit old!)
An Analysis of the Impact of Accidents on Airline Performance, Yueh-Ling Hsu, MSc thesis, Cranfield University 9/99 (uses China Airlines as a case study!)
If any one reading this knows of other reports on this topic, details gratefully received.
I don't think any of these are easy to get hold of but if you ever have a couple of hours to kill at LHR, you are welcome to look at our copies.
