Study examines locational and time-related factors affecting port efficiency, indicating significant regional variations.
This study presents a new meta-regression method for integrating efficiency studies. A re-examination of the effects of time-related and locational factors on port efficiency is conducted. Empirical results verify that port efficiency first increased, then decreased, within the study period. Seaports located along important shipping routes and in economically prosperous regions achieved higher levels of efficiency. The variations in efficiency can be attributed to country-specific governance structures. Inland waterway ports are comparatively inefficient.
