Understanding Port Choice Behavior—A Network Perspective (2011, background): “Although modernized and more productive ports may charge higher port dues per ship hour, the improved speed reduces cost per cargo unit (Sanchez et al. 2003).”
The Impact of Port Characteristics on International Maritime Transport Costs (2006, result): “Our results confirm those presented by Sanchez et al (2003), who develop a complex measure for port efficiency based on quantitative port performance indicators.”
The impacts of port infrastructure and logistics performance on economic growth: the mediating role of seaborne trade (2018, background): “In the context of China, Shan et al. (2014) found that 1% increase in port cargo throughput can increase GDP per capita growth by 7.6%, and the port throughput of a country has a positive impact on neighbouring economies.”
Dynamics of liner shipping network and port connectivity in supply chain systems: analysis on East Asia (2011, background): “…2003; Clark et al., 2004), port productivity and efficiency studies identifying determinants of port performance (Sachish, 1996; De and Ghosh, 2002; Sanchez et al., 2003; Tongzon and Heng, 2005; Trujillo and Tovar, 2007), cost comparison accounting for quantitative and qualitative factors (Baird,…”
Liner Shipping Connectivity and Port Infrastructure as Determinants of Freight Rates in the Caribbean (2008, methodology): “These basic sets of variables are chosen, based on their relevance in previous publications (ie Clark et al, 2004; Sánchez et al, 2003; Wilmsmeier, 2003; Limao and Venables, 2000).”
The Competitiveness of Global Port-Cities: Synthesis Report (2013, result): “19 The important role of port efficiency for reducing costs of trade is confirmed by other studies (Sanchez et al. 2003; Nordas and Piermartini, 2004).”
Efficiency and productivity (2008, neutral): “However Schmidt (1976) showed that the linear programming “estimate” of β is maximum likelihood if the ui follow an exponential distribution, and that the quadratic programming “estimate” of β is maximum likelihood if the ui follow a half-normal distribution.”
