Typology of long-term port efficiency Improvement paths: malmquist total factor productivity for world container ports (2009)
Journal Article
Cheon, S., Dowall, D. E., & Song, D.-W. (2009). Typology of long-term port efficiency Improvement paths: malmquist total factor productivity for world container ports. Journal of Infrastructure Systems, 15(4), 340-350. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%291076-0342%282009%2915%3A4%28340%29

The global seaport sector made huge efforts in relation to port reform and technological development since the 1990s. This study attempts to systematically estimate the impacts of these efforts on world ports’ efficiency changes between 1991 and 2004...

Evaluating impacts of institutional reforms on port efficiency changes: Ownership, corporate structure, and total factor productivity changes of world container ports (2009)
Journal Article
Cheon, S., Dowall, D. E., & Song, D.-W. (2010). Evaluating impacts of institutional reforms on port efficiency changes: Ownership, corporate structure, and total factor productivity changes of world container ports. Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 46(4), 546-561. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tre.2009.04.001

This paper evaluates how port institutional reforms influenced efficiency gains between 1991 and 2004. We constructed a panel data for port ownership, corporate structure, and port inputs and outputs for 98 major world ports, and we implemented the M...

Port integration in global supply chains: measures and implications for maritime logistics (2009)
Journal Article
Panayides, P., & Song, D.-W. (2009). Port integration in global supply chains: measures and implications for maritime logistics. International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, 12(2), 133-145. https://doi.org/10.1080/13675560902749407

The aim of this article is to define and empirically develop measures of seaport integration in global supply chains and to infer implications for maritime logistics. A literature review identified four key parameters hypothesised to be part of the h... Read More about Port integration in global supply chains: measures and implications for maritime logistics.

A stochastic frontier model of the productive efficiency of Korean container terminals (2003)
Journal Article
Cullinane, K., & Song, D.-W. (2003). A stochastic frontier model of the productive efficiency of Korean container terminals. Applied Economics, 35(3), 251-267. https://doi.org/10.1080/00036840210139355

A central objective of port privatization and/or deregulation policies is stimulating greater efficiency by engendering a more competitive market and commercial approach to management. Korea provides a prime example of a nation that is implementing s... Read More about A stochastic frontier model of the productive efficiency of Korean container terminals.

Competition and complementarity between seaports and hinterlands for locating distribution activities.
Preprint / Working Paper
Monios, J., Notteboom, T., Wilmsmeier, G., & Rodrigue, J.-P. Competition and complementarity between seaports and hinterlands for locating distribution activities

A locational duality in port-related distribution activities is emerging. In some regions, distribution activities have moved from ports to inland locations, driven in part by ‘push factors’ such as port congestion and scarcity of land for container...
