The Impact of Maritime Transportation Instability on International Trade Instability: Combination Spatial Panel data Econometric Approach and Wavelet Smoothing

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of maritime transportation instability on international trade instability based on wavelet smoothing and spatial panel data econometric method during the period 1990-2012. The results showed that the spatial effects have an impact on international trade instability. So that a sudden 100 percent increase in international trade in the nei...

Fuzzy Transportation Problem with Random Transportation Costs

We consider the following transportation problem with both random and fuzzy factors. There exist m supply points and n demand points. For each route between supply point and demand point, unit transportation cost is a random variable according to a normal distribution and existence possibility denoting the preference choosing this route is attached. The probability that the total transportation...

Transportation and Globalization

Introduction: The Linchpin of the Global Economy Transportation is one of the least visible, but critical components of the global economy by supporting a wide array of movements of passengers and freight between nations. Freight transportation is particularly unnoticed even if globalization depends on the trade of raw materials, parts and finished products. The substantial diversity, availabil...

Trade and Transportation: Containerization

The container, a standard size metal box designed to be moved with common handling equipment into which cargo is packed for shipment aboard in specifically configured oceangoing vessels, has evolved into the key physical and logistical support of international trade and globalization. Although available in several sizes, all containers adhere to a single standard, which accelerated containeriza...
