PortEconomics co-director appointed Senior Scientific Advisor to the Florence School of Regulation

PortEocnomics members Gordon Wilmsmeier and Jason Monios will be hosted at @ Connecting Ports – The Live Talk Show by HPC Hamburg Port Consulting GmbH this Wednesday – 13th December @14:00 CET (08:00 Colombia – GMT).

Why should we rethink port economics? Are we ready to “finally” internalize external costs? Why should we explore degrowth scenarios? We live in an environment where disruptive and less controllable events are becoming more common. We argue that traditional concepts that aim to overcome disruptions and return to business as usual are flawed. Instead, “deep adaptation” to create alternative pathways into the future should be explored. 

Gordon and Jason, along with  Michael Horton, will discuss “Rethinking Port Economics” with Christina Prieser.

Have a look up front at some of Jason´s and Gordon’s research:
