Search for the Best Financial Performance Measure: Basics Are Better

Robert Ferguson and Dean Leistikow

Financial Analysts Journal, 1998, vol. 54, issue 1, 81-85

Abstract: Economic value added (EVA) is a well-known and widely used measure of operating performance. Bacidore, Boquist, Milbourn, and Thakor (1997) claimed in a recent Financial Analysts Journal article that a modified version of EVA, refined economic value added (REVA), is theoretically superior to EVA. Actually, EVA is theoretically superior to REVA.
