Endogenous transportation costs

European Economic Review, 2018
The containerized maritime transportation industry is characterized by oligopolistic competition and economies of scale. In this paper, we examine the eect that these industry characteristics have on trade. We build a model of endogenous transportation costs within a standard Melitz (2003) framework.

The Substitution Effects of Transportation Costs

Journal of Political Economy, 1969
When a commodity is consumed at the production center and also at various distances from the center, it is alleged that the amount shipped for consumption will contain a greater proportion of high-quality output than will be found in the amount kept for consumption at the production center.

City Size and Transportation Costs

Journal of Political Economy, 1973
A SIMPLE MODEL OF A CITY (METROPOLITAN AREA) IS CONSTRUCTED AND USED TO CALCULATE HOW TRANSPORTATION COSTS VARY WITH CITY SIZE. SIMPLIFYING THE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS MAKES THE MODEL MORE MANAGEABLE, WHICH ALLOWS EXPLICIT CALCULATION OF MAGNITUDES THAT WERE NOT CALCULATED IN THE MORE COMPLICATED AND GENERAL MODELS USED IN THE RECENT LITERATURE IN THIS AREA.

Reed canary grass transportation costs – Reducing costs and increasing feasible transportation distances

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2009
Reed canary grass is used in several heat and power plants in Finland and it is estimated that about 70–80 plants could utilise reed canary grass as a co-firing fuel. Long-distance transport of reed canary grass forms a significant share of the production and delivery costs. Reed canary grass can be transported in bales or as loose matter.

The Relative Cost of Biomass Energy Transport

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2007
Logistics cost, the cost of moving feedstock or products, is a key component of the overall cost of recovering energy from biomass. In this study, we calculate for small- and large-project sizes, the relative cost of transportation by truck, rail, ship, and pipeline for three biomass feedstocks, by truck and pipeline for ethanol, and by transmission ...

Fixed‐cost transportation problems

Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1961
AbstractThis paper formulates a fixed‐cost transportation problem as an integer program, describes some of its special properties, and suggests an approximate method of solution. Examples are given to demonstrate the approximation technique.
