Asymmetric Cost Behavior : Implications for the Credit and Financial Risk of a Firm
Reimer, Kristina - 2019
The thesis of Kristina Reimer provides a comprehensive analysis of asymmetric cost behavior (also known as cost stickiness) by discussing its origin and development in the theoretical and empirical research from the 1920s of the past century up until today. Further, using an empirical approach,...
