The module discusses the determinants of the demand of maritime transport, linking them to the role played by shipping in the international trade and the economic organisation. The demand related perspective is then used also for defining the organisation of supply of shipping services together with the main market trends (e.g. innovation in shipping, port sector).
Special topics will be discussed in class through a series of dedicated activities.
The course provides the specificities of the sector and the contribution provided to the general economic theory, the knowledge of the distinctive characteristics of the different modes of maritime transport and the forms of integration and competition, the markets in which the companies operate and the economic policy guidelines that drive International trade and sea transport.
