Talk:Tobin's q/Archives/2013

Naming Convention

I have seen Tobin's Q often but i rarely see it written Tobin's-q. Usually i see it as Tobin's Q or just plain Q. Would anyone disagree if i changed the pselling of it to Tobin's Q, i think it is easier to read. also references to it later on could just say Q.

I added something about Brainard and the history of Tobin's q. The whole concept actually appeared in 1968 in the co-authored paper. The solo-authored 1969 Tobin paper is what called it the "Q," but Tobin's Q should in general be attributed to Tobin and Brainard. See the AEA biography for details.User:Kahnsky —Preceding undated comment added 21:12, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
