The initial rise of global supply chains is contributed by the “intermediate goods”, which accounts for 30-60% of the exports of G20 countries (The Economist, 2014). Given that many of these imported parts are either of high value or involved in just-in-time (JIT) production and service...

We explore the impacts of high-speed rail (HSR) developments on airport-level traffic by considering not only the availability of air-HSR intermodal linkage between the airport and HSR station but also the position of the airport's city in the HSR network. The latter is measured by both the...

In this paper, we analytically study the performance of two topologies of high-speed rail (HSR) networks: isolated-corridors and grid networks. We evaluate how HSR configuration affects capacity of newly developed infrastructure, profits and social welfare by considering a number of factors,...

This paper develops a theoretical model to analyze the congestion internalization of the shipping lines, taking into account the “knock on” effect (i.e. the congestion delay passed on from one port-of-call to the next port-of-call). We find that with the presence of the knock-on effect,...
