The annual conference of the International Association of PortΕconomics – IAME 2014, that was held 15-18 July in Norfolk, Virginia provided to the PortEconomics team the opportunity to present the port research that they conducted over the last year.

In total, PortEconomics members presented 25 different port or port related studies that progressed over the course of the last months, shaping research developments in the emerging research field of port economics, policy and management, as well as in port related studies.

Over the next days, PortEconomics will bring to its readers further information and material on the research presented by its members during the IAME 2014 Conference – Stay tuned…
