Preferences for transport activities are often considered only in terms of time and money. Whilst congestion in automobile traffic increases costs by raising trip durations, the same is less obvious in public transport (PT), especially rail-based.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, or “drones”) can bring a powerful lifesaving capability to medical situations in which time is critical. Eventually, drones may also bring efficiency and cost savings to nonurgent medical situations. In some places, such as Rwanda and Ghana, UAVs are already...

This article aims at applying the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with PESTEL Analysis to quantitatively conduct an industry analysis. The public airports, under operations of the Department of Airports, located in the local and regional parts of Thailand is employed as a case study. By...

Though decentralization for past one and half decade or so has become the most favoured policy priority among the policy makers yet the countries around the world differ dramatically in the degree of decentralization that is accommodated. While diversity in degree of decentralization across the...

We re-examine the view that wars make strong states, taking advantage of panel data to address two of the most obvious endogeneity concerns that arise in this context: initial conditions and persistence of state capacity. Our main message is that, in modern times, there is no evidence that wars...

Hace un año, un grupo heterogéneo de investigadores del Centro de Investigación de la Universidad del Pacífico (CIUP) inició un esfuerzo colectivo para pensar en el futuro de nuestra economía y sociedad más allá del corto plazo. El trabajo que presentamos a continuación resume algunas...
