Hi all. My doctoral disseration from back in grad school did a
longitudinal organizational ecology style mortality analysis based upon
the route netowrk structure of the U.S. airline history. I'd be happy to
send a copy to those interested. It is also of course available via the
dissertation archive in Michigan. Full citation is Marc-David Seidel,
1997. Competitive Realignment in the U.S. Airline Industry. University
of California at Berkeley Doctoral Dissertation.
Cheers,
Marc-David
