The drivers of port competitiveness: a critical review (2017, background): “In this regard, Malchow and Kanafani (2004) – focusing on US ports – shows that choice behaviour varies significantly across carriers and commodity types.”
Evaluating the competitiveness of container ports in Korea and China (2008, background): “Moreover, they extended their studies in 10 major US ports by incorporating additional attributes finding that the most significant characteristic of a port was its location (Malchow and Kanafani, 2004).”
Port competition and selection in contestable hinterlands; the case of Austria (2007, background): “A number of relevant research findings have been obtained.6 First, the importance of location (the origin or destination in the hinterland) turns out to be the most important factor in port choice (Malchow and Kanafani, 2004).”
Understanding Port Choice Behavior—A Network Perspective (2011, methodology): “ Malchow and Kanafani (2004) have reported that inland distance and frequency of shipments are negatively correlated with the probability of a port-shipper combination being chosen.”
