Abstract: Airports are of substantial public concern. They are key centers of economic activity and allow people and goods to move quickly throughout the country and the world, increasing access to markets and lowering costs of production. Because airports are characterized by capital-intensive, long-term construction projects and significant externalities, they are deserving of attention from public policy makers. Of specific concern to this report is the productive efficiency of airports. With decreasing public funding in the United States (US), there is pressure to maximize productive and cost efficiency in traditionally public entities. This is the purview from which this research studied the effects of ownership scheme on the productive efficiency of airports.
