Empirical investigation on container port competition and complementarity

The study aims to conduct an empirical investigation on container port competition and complementarity patterns. Interviews with industry players such as terminal operators, container lines, shippers, as well as port authorities are carried out. Industrial data obtained are then cross-referenced wit...
