Citations in the corpus
- When it comes to container port efficiency, are all developing regions equal? (2016, background): “In Latin America, Wilmsmeier et al (2006) calculates that doubling port efficiency in a pair of ports has the same impact on international transport costs as halving the distance between them.”
- The Competitiveness of Global Port-Cities: Synthesis Report (2013, background): “It was found to be most important among six different port characteristics, including port infrastructure, private sector participation and inter-port connectivity (Wilmsmeier et al. 2006).”
- Liner Shipping Connectivity and Port Infrastructure as Determinants of Freight Rates in the Caribbean (2008, methodology): “Kumar and Hoffmann (2002), Marquez-Ramos et al (2006) and Wilmsmeier et al (2006) already incorporate measures of ‘connectivity’ into research on maritime transport costs.”
- Container shipping on the Northern Sea Route (2009, background): “Developing markets tend to have weak road and railway infrastructures, but it has been possible to serve them thanks to evolution of their ports (Wilmsmeier et al., 2006; Song and Panayides, 2008).”
- The Trade Reducing Effects of Market Power in International Shipping (2009, background): “…features of the shipping industry that are exporter specific, including cargo reservation policies (Fink et al 2000), the strength of liner conference activity (Fink et al 2000, Clyde and Reitzes 1995), and port efficiency (Wilmsmeier et al 2006, Blonigen and Wilson, 2006, Clark et al 2004).”
- Understanding Port Choice Behavior—A Network Perspective (2011, background): “Wilmsmeier et al. (2006) found that transportation costs only increase by 29.5% when distance doubles.”
