International Handbook of Maritime Economics

Edited by Kevin Cullinane, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

This timely and comprehensive new Handbook brings together an unrivalled group of distinguished scholars and practitioners to provide in-depth analysis and a contemporary perspective on a wide-ranging array of topics in maritime economics.

国际海事经济学手册,expertly edited by Kevin Cullinane, is a very welcome addition to the maritime economics literature. Reflecting the widened scope of the International Association of Maritime Economics, it covers traditional maritime economics nicely complemented with port economics and management as well as hinterland transport. The book also balances shipping segments, geographical areas and management perspectives. The contributors clearly demonstrate their leading expertise when putting shipping into a trade, logistics and policy context. I sincerely recommend this book to anyone interested in contemporary shipping issues.’
– Johan Woxenius, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

‘This is an innovative collection of papers that will be of particular value to universities and organizations with responsibilities in maritime research. The twenty researched chapters raise stimulating and significant questions and advance the contribution of quantitative methods in maritime research. The chapters include topics in the dry bulk, tanker, liner and port sectors, with greatest coverage of the latter two sectors. Many of the chapters will interest managers as well as researchers.’
– Trevor Heaver, University of British Columbia, Canada

‘This International Handbook of Maritime Economics offers a broad variety of contributions, illustrating that the interface of maritime economics with the wider transport community is much stronger than it was before. To the already broad literature in the field of maritime economics, this is a most welcome addition.’
