Lam, Cesar Ducruet, Peter de Langen, Adolf K.Y. Ng, Mary Brooks, Pierre Cariou, Thanos Pallis, and Jason Monios
The full ‘2% list’ of scientists in all research disciplines can be found at the following link, and features also quite a number of other maritime economists and members of the International Association of Maritime Economists: link
