This study proposes a group of indicators in the analysis of port performance. Section one presents a new model of analysis to evaluate how the port cargo openness, the productivity level, the cargo expansion, and the technological change adaptability can affect directly on the marginal...

This paper try to evaluate the impact of full open skies policy on the economic growth of small less developed countries in the short and long run. Additionally, this paper tries to propose the uses of an economic mathematical simulator under the application of different levels of full open...

We propose a group of indicators for the analysis of wine industry performance. We present a new model that analyzes the direct impact of wine industry productivity rate (Π*), the wine industry performance rate (ΔΠ), the wine cargo expansion rate (Δϛ), and the wine industry technological...

This paper will present a new group of indicators to analyze the performance of ports. Hence, this paper is divided into two parts. The first part will present a new model of analysis to evaluate how the port cargo openness, the productivity level, the cargo expansion, and the technological...

This paper examines conditions under which the agency problem in PPP (expropriation of the private partner by the state) could be rectified. We propose that the issue lies not in a 'complete contract' (a more protective ex ante contract) in mitigating the agency problem in PPP, but rather the...

It is often fraught with agency problems of asymmetric information, moral hazard, divergent beliefs and incomplete contract between the traffickers and traffickee where the former often use psychological...

This paper is interested to propose an alternative indicator to evaluate the ports productivity performance. This indicator is called the ports intensity productivity equation. The main objective of the ports intensity productivity equation is to evaluate the performance of ports as a whole. We...
