Traffics and port regions, what connections ?

Thursday 28 June 2012

What are the reciprocal influences between the various types of traffic and the socio-economic characteristics of the regions where the ports handling these traffics are installed ? Up to now, this analysis was missing and this research fills the lack by applying a set of 21 indicators to 189 ports in Europe, Japan and the United States. It draws up a typology of the port regions and confirms the relations of dependency between regional economic development and the types of traffics.
