Description

Maritime Economics The Blackwell Companion to Maritime Economics presents a comprehensive and ­in-depth coverage of shipping and port economics. Featuring contributions from the most respected international specialists in the field, this reference offers up-to-date insights into maritime carriers and their markets (e.g., freight, intermodal and ­passenger), ­shipping economics (e.g., dry bulk, liquid bulk, container, regulation, taxation, ­seafaring, safety and piracy), ship economics (e.g., equity, bond and hedging ship ­finance) and port economics (e.g., governance, labor, competition, efficiency, choice, investment, clusters, inspection and security). In addition to providing a comprehensive survey of the literature on past and current practices on a wide range of maritime topics, new empirical research on safety and ­piracy in shipping, ship finance, and container terminal efficiency is presented as well as original theories for maritime carriers and ports that provide greater insights into their ­operations. With its unprecedented breadth of coverage and range of scholarship, The Blackwell Companion to Maritime Economics represents the new standard resource for any and all topics related to maritime economics.
