The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion.

Market Shares as a Collusive Marker: Evidence From the European Truck Industry
