Port geography at the crossroads with human geography: between flows and spaces

Port research is not a new field of interest for human geographers, evidenced by numerous conceptual models and empirical cases of port evolution and development in the literature. However, several critical questions remain unanswered, notably the exact position of port geography as a subdiscipline within human geography in the past, present and future. Based on a pluralistic approach, the paper analyzes the changing waves and development of port geography as a sub-discipline of human geography, with a special focus on whether port geography has experienced a paradigm shift and, if so, when, why, and how. Also, through analyzing the major terrains of port geography research from the macro perspective, it brings a new lease of life to port geography in this rapidly changing world.     

Shipping route choice across geographies: Coastal vs. landlocked countries

This paper investigates how geography and transportation costs influence the decisions by shippers of which port of export to use. Using a large sample of disaggregated shipments originating from several countries in Europe, we show that European logistics networks exhibit a low level of international integration that affects shipping route choice. Furthermore, we find significant differences in shipping behaviors across landlocked and coastal countries, with shippers in landlocked countries avoiding long land transportation, crossing borders readily, and placing more value on transportation infrastructure. These findings have implications in designing port competitiveness strategies and economic development policies in landlocked countries.

港口开发、产业发展与人口城市化——以曹妃甸地区为例

文章从理论与实证方面对港口开发、产业发展与人口城市化的关系和相互作用进行了初步探讨.在理论部分,从共性出发,总结了三者相互作用的基本模式;从差异性出发,基于港口-腹地类型的不同,将三者相互作用的强度划分为超强关联互动作用型、强相互作用型、中强相互作用型以及弱相互作用型.同时,基于区域产业链组织的视角,从空间和时间两个维度,进一步考察了三者的相互作用.在实证部分,以曹妃甸地区为例,从港口-腹地类型的视角和区域产业链组织的视角,对理论分析进行了初步的检验.结合曹妃甸地区主要开发区的发展情况,概括出海港工业区城市化模式和临港农场改制型开发区城市化模式,根据城市化模式的不同,对三者的相互作用作了进一步的探讨.

Testing for negativity in a demand system: A Bayesian approach

The paper introduces Bayesian inference into a demand model. This allows us to test for the negativity condition of the substitution matrix which is difficult to handle directly in the traditional approach. To illustrate the Bayesian inference procedures, we estimate the Rotterdam model and test the demand properties using Japanese data. The empirical results show the importance of specifically considering negativity in demand analysis. First version received: September 1997/final version received: February 1998
