The PortEconomics.gr initiative
PortEconomics.gr is a web-based initiative aiming to advance knowledge exchange on seaport studies. Developed by the Research in Port Economics and Policy(REPEP)Group, it provides freely accessible research, education and network-building material on critical issues of port economics, management and policies.
REPEPmembers also collaborate with an extensive international network of academics interested in seaport studies and research in Europe, N. America and Asia. These activities have resulted in an extensive list of relevant publications, that are available via this website.
The main objectives of thePortEconomics.gr initiative are:
To disseminate the activities and research output of the members of REPER by providing open access to the research and analysis contacted by the group’s members;
To establish and foster a knowledge exchange network of scholars, policymakers, practitioners and students interested in port issues; and
To develop and promote relevant resources for increased port studies.
Aiming to promote port studies, our website provides the PortStudies Database, a key reference database including studies in port economics, management and policy since 1997.
It also provides the Essential Readings, an e-publication series with the aim being to provide a comprehensive list of publications that facilitate the understanding and study of the economics and management of ports, as well as of the economics andpolicy making process of the European (Maritime) Transport Policies.
