The growth potential of container shipping on the Yangtze River

Despite the rapid economic growth in the Yangtze River Delta area, the Yangtze River itself is lagging behind as measured by the ratio of container volume to total freight volume. According to the Ministry of Communications’ statistics, more than 70% of cargoes generated in the Yangtze Valley are suitable for containerized transport, but, at this time, only a fraction of these cargoes are act…

The role of human capital in economic development Evidence from aggregate cro…

Using cross-country estimates of physical and human capital stocks, we run the growth accounting regressions implied by a CobbPDouglas aggregate production function. Our results indicate that human capital enters insignificantly in explaining per capita growth rates. We next specify an alternative model in which the growth rate of total factor productivity depends on a nation’s human capital …

Logistics: Perspectives for the 1990s

The decade of the 1980s has been witness to a long period of stable, sustained economic growth in the American economy, with moderate inflation, favourable interest rates, and steady growth in GNP.

Power Generation, FSRUs To Underpin EM LNG Growth

Strong LNG demand growth in Asia's less-established LNG players including Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines and Vietnam will absorb some of the forthcoming oversupply in the global LNG market.

Woodside Petroleum is leading the charge following a gas discovery at its Pyi …

Indonesia Consumer electronics report : Includes 5-year forecasts to 2021

We have downgraded Indonesia's economic growth forecast to 5.1% in 2017 as the mining sector is showing little sign of picking up despite the easing of the mineral export ban, while the manufacturing and retail and wholesale sectors appear to be on a slight downturn. Rising political risks in the run-up to the 2019 elections are also likely to weigh on growth going into 2018, although we expect…
