Essays on Port Economics
The aim of this book is to offer a comprehensive overview of the economics of ports for scientists, students and professionals. The text is divided into five self-contained parts: the first chapter defines the demand for port services using an econometric approach. The second part analyzes the provision of port services using the production, cost, investment and profit functions of various ports. The third part combines the two previous parts in order to propound a general equilibrium approach. The fourth part looks at regulation, efficiency and the existence of ports as natural monopolies. Finally, the fifth part uses Cost Benefit Analysis for an economic evaluation of the feasibility of building new ports or enlarging existing ones.

Procesos de aprendizaje de vanguardia en la enseñanza superior
Bolonia nos ha supuesto al profesorado universitario el tener que repensar nuestras materias para adaptarlas a las nuevas exigencias. Y aún estamos en ello. Cuando los países europeos, el 19 de junio de 1999, revalidaron la importancia de un desarrollo armónico del Espacio Europeo de la Educación Superior y matizaron y concretaron algunos temas ya iniciados en acuerdos precedentes, se pretendía, sobre el papel, la adopción de un sistema comprensible y comparable de titulación que permitiese la competitividad internacional. En la realidad, más allá de los procesos burocráticos y las urdimbres administrativas de este sistema global, en el meollo de la propuesta se halla la enseñanza...
ANALES DE ECONOMÍA APLICADA (2018)
El interés por el patrimonio cultural ha aumentado en las últimas décadas, tanto por parte de los académicos (con investigaciones y estudios específicos), como desde las administraciones públicas, el sector privado, e incluso la ciudadanía en general. Sin embargo, este interés por el patrimonio cultural no se ha extendido de igual modo en todos los ámbitos patrimoniales; ha dependido, en gran medida, del atractivo de los propios bienes. En el caso de la pesca, poco se ha dicho desde la mirada patrimonialista. La pesca, como actividad económica, parecía alejarse de los criterios que comúnmente se han utilizado para determinar qué es patrimonio. Se trata de un trabajo, de una form...
Water Lessons
"Beneath the obvious beauty of Lisa Dordal's poetry lies a subtle ferocity that threatens to undo the reader on every page of WATER LESSONS. 'Anyone can become / animal or a flicker of light' warns the speaker as she embarks on a journey of recovery: of the memories surrounding a mother's addiction and death; of a father's dementia, which softens him even as it steals him away; and of the speaker's own complicity in mid-century suburban oblivion, a complicity that makes both a mother's and a Black maid's miseries equally tragic. Dordal demands that we not only see the past, but that we step into its deceptively gentle tide, one that sweeps us back to the people, places, and eras that still h...
Devolution, Port Governance and Port Performance
The relationship between ports and governments has changed profoundly over the past quarter of a century. Many governments have sought to extract themselves from the business of port operations and, in many cases, the provision of port services has devolved to local governments, communities or private management and administration. As such devolution implies a change in governance model, this trend raises questions about consequent performance. This issue examines the changed port management environment, focusing particularly on government policies such as devolution, regulatory reform and newly imposed governance models, all of which have exerted a significant influence over the nature of t...
Port Economics
Port Economics is the study of the economic decisions (and their consequences) of the users and providers of port services. A port is an "engine" for economic development by providing employment, worker incomes, business earnings and taxes for its region. The book provides a detailed discussion of types of carriers that use ports, the operation of cargo and passenger ports as well as the operation of such specific ports as Hong Kong, Hamburg, Le Havre, Savannah, Miami and Panama. Port Economics is the first contemporary textbook of its kind. It enhances our understanding of port economics by – classifying port users and suppliers of port services in the context of economic demand and suppl...
