This paper considers the evolution of global transportation usage over the past half century and its implications for supply chains. Transportation usage per unit of real output has more than doubled as costs decreased by a third. Participation of emerging economies in world trade and...

This paper studies the impact of transport infrastructure projects of the Belt and Road Initiative on shipment times and trade costs. Based on a new data on completed and planned Belt and Road transport projects, Geographic Information System analysis is used to estimate shipment times before...

This paper investigates the trade effects of transportation infrastructure reforms funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) program. To do this, we applied a combination of geographic information systems (GIS), econometric, and...

Russian Abstract: Запуск МТК «Север – Юг» и его сопряжение с широтными транспортными коридорами позволит создать единый транспортный каркас на пространстве Евразии....

The launch of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and its connection to latitudinal transport corridors will enable the creation of a single Eurasian transport framework. Significantly shorter delivery time is the key advantage that the INSTC will have relative to the other...

The International North–South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is the key element of the EurasianTransport Network. It is linked to most latitudinal Eurasian transport corridors. The INSTC is nowbecoming more relevant due to new logistics; however, various infrastructural and non-physical(tariff and...

We study the impact on firms' location and regional surpluses of the creation of a transportation mode that only serves two points ("airports"), as for instance planes or high-speed trains do, and which competes with a mode that continuously serves space.

In this paper we claim that distance alone is a poor proxy for international transport costs in empirical studies. We model a manufacturing and a transport sector and let the level of manufacturing exports determine the demand for transport services. Above a particular trade level, transport...

The present paper studies the modelling of inter-regional trade flows in the newly developed general equilibrium model of European Commission, Rhomolo. In contrast to international trade, usually, trade of goods and services between regions is not recorded statistically. As a result, no...
