We study here the effects of FTA on demand, consumer surplus, dealer profit, and
tariff revenue depending on the degree of substitution between two goods and
import competition structure in a two country’s static model. We consider
monopolist dealer, and perfect competition in imports market. The base model is
with a positive tariff and we compare the equilibrium with a zero tariff under
FTA. The ... hiện toàn bộ
This study aims to develop a competitive dynamics model of container shipping
liners, one which examines how inter-firm network embeddedness would affect
inter-firm rivalry such as the likelihood of a competitive action of a focal
firm and the likelihood of its rivals’ response and how the inter-firm rivalry
then has an influence on the market share of the focal firm. Structural and
relational net... hiện toàn bộ

This paper considers supply chain management organizations with the aid of
'chaotic systems theory' developed originally in physics and mathematics. Since
innovations in supply chain management are vital for organizational survival
'complex systems theory' may assist in fine-tuning managerial philosophies that
provide stability in supply chain management because it is on the boundary of
chaos that... hiện toàn bộ
Discussion of unification was for several decades focused on the costs rather

five years. Although these studies can be evaluated positively in pointing out
the benefits of unification rather than the concerns about the costs, several

The shipper selects a suitable shipping route and plans for a voyage in order to
import and export cargo on the basis of published sailing schedules. The
reliability of the sailing schedule will influence the shipper’s logistics
expense, which means that the logistics costs will depend on the reliability of
schedules published by container shipping companies. Therefore, it is important
to consider... hiện toàn bộ
The Korean government has begun to implement the TAA system since May 2007 in

performance of the Korean TAA program based on the experience for the last five
years and aims to suggest some relevant policy implications out of it. We find
that ... hiện toàn bộ
The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of logistics
efficiency on trade volume growth, and to examine the effects of lower tariffs
resulting from free trade agreements. In order to measure the impact of
logistics efficiency on trade volume growth, the export and import trade volume
among 53 countries was introduced as the dependent variable. Macroeconomic
indicators includi... hiện toàn bộ
