Carlos Pestana Barros,Zhongfei Chen,Shunsuke Managi,Olinda Sequeira Antunes +3 more
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: In this article, the operational activities of Chinese hydroelectric power companies over the period 2000-2010 were evaluated using a finite mixture model that controls for unobserved heterogeneity. And the main result is that three groups are identified in the sample, each equipped with different technologies, suggesting that distinct business strategies need to be adapted to the characteristics of China's hydro power companies.
