Meta-analysis offers an analytical framework for research synthesis based on a comparative study of research findings undertaken by different researchers. In this paper, we investigate the possibilities of applying meta-analysis to transport policy impact studies in environmental-economics. The...

This paper aims to address the linkage between logistics (in particular, the management of marketing channel flows) and transport markets, while also the interaction between these two markets and inter-modal container terminals is analysed. The marketing channel theory is used to describe all...

This paper emphasizes the importance of quantitative comparative research in the social sciences. For that purpose a great variety of modem classification methods is available. The paper aims to give a selective overview of major classes of these methods and highlights the advantages and...

In this paper the relation between container terminal services and quality is explored. Quality elements that are important to terminal customers are reliability, flexibility, availability, time, costs, control, and after sales support. Overall, it is important for the terminal operator to...

We consider a slightly adapted version of the general equilibrium model with possibly nonconvex production technologies presented by Villar (1994). Typical for such models is that the behaviour of a producer is modelled by a pricing rule that relates market prices and production vectors - a...

In this paper we analyze the supply of network infrastructure at the regional level. Special attention is paid to spatial autocorrelation aspects. A method is developed to test which impact international borders have on the supply of network infrastructure in border regions. An empirical...

In urban areas underground logistical systems - designed as delivery service to provide shops, industrial sites and office locations - may help to relieve the pressure of the road network in particular in the old inner cities which have to deal with increasing traffic congestion. When shops are...
