Shipping Economics, Volume 12 (Research in Transportation Economics)
Year: 2005 Language: English Author: Cullinane, Kevin Publisher: Elsevier ISBN: 0-7623-1177-0 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 325 Description: In order to fully comprehend the scope of this volume in the Research in Transportation Economics series, it is important to recognise a distinction between Shipping Economics and Port Economics.While the area covered by the discipline of Port Economics may appear to be intuitively obvious, the scope of what is entailed within Shipping Economics is rather more difficult to define. As can be seen in the content of the chapters in this volume, the coverage of the latter is extremely eclectic and, in common with the area of Port Economics, draws upon many concepts, theories and methods that are ubiquitously applied in other branches of economics. Together, they may be considered to comprise Maritime Economics. As with many taxonomies that are developed and utilized within the social sciences, on most occasions it is very clear what specific issue may be termed Shipping Economics and what Port Economics. However, on some occasions, the distinction may not be absolutely categorical. Many issues of relevance to the port industry simply cannot be analysed without taking into account the economic behaviour of their main customer, the shipping industry. Similarly, it is easy to visualize areas of concern to the shipping industry that are significantly affected by the economic behaviour of one of their main service suppliers, the port industry. Thus, at the interface between Shipping Economics and Port Economics, there exists a grey area where one “discipline” may impinge on the territory of the other.
