Are giant REITS more efficient than their smaller competitors?
Article Abstract:
The average size of real estate investment trusts (REITs) have doubled and redoubled since 1993 and by April 1998 had reached an average size of $900 mil, with 63 REITS being larger than $1 bil. Many observers believe that the larger REITS are more efficient than their smaller counterparts because of their reduced operating and capital costs. However, some believe that the larger REITS have more difficulty in controlling operations.
