Cet article est consacré à l’analyse du choix modal pour le transport de fret. L’analyse est fondée sur le concept de “coûts logistiques totaux” .Ceci implique une attention particulière à tous les coûts dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement, ces derniers étant influencés par le...

In this paper, the choice between different freight transportation modes is analyzed from the viewpoint of a shipper/receiver. The analysis is based on the concept of total logistics costs. This means that, when comparing different transportation modes, not only the cost of transportation itself...

In this paper a comparison is made between direct road haulage and combined transport (inland navigation with oncarriage by truck) for the transport of containers from a seaport to the hinterland. The analysis is based on the concept of total logistics costs, a central concept in the theory of...

This paper analyses the choice between different transport modes, based on the concept of total logistics costs. Not only the cost of transportation itself is considered, but also all the other costs that arise in the supply chain, such as the costs of goods handling, the costs of inventory...

A correct parametric approximation of the productivity distribution is essential to calculate Gains From Trade (GFT) in heterogeneous firms models. This paper argues that heterogeneity in productivity is best captured by Finite Mixture Models (FMMs). FMMs build on the existence of unobserved...

This report summarizes the main results of Work Package 1 of the research project ‘Assessing Needs of Care in European Nations’ (ANCIEN). This report aims at contributing to knowledge on long-tem care (LTC) system design features by developing a typology of LTC system models in EU countries,...
