Conference on “Innovative applications on Frontier Models in Seaports”
Special Issue of Maritime Economics & Logistics

---

Topic

Over the past few years seaport efficiency has been a major issue on economic research. Seaport efficiency has significant economic, social and political implications for regional development. As a consequence, governments must put forward effective competitive policies. Research suggests that the causes of inefficiency are due to bad governance and other institutional constrains, inadequate geographical location, and inadequate portfolio composition of assets. The objective of the conference is to assemble innovative applications in seaport efficiency. We look forward to receiving papers on a variety of relevant topics, as well as different approaches, theoretical and empirical, emphasizing policy implications of seaports efficiency.
