Economic and environmental impacts of alternative routing scenarios in the context of China's belt and road initiative

Economic and environmental impacts of alternative routing scenarios in the context of China's belt and road initiative

This paper provides an empirical study of combined land - ocean transport within the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The analysis is based on primary data in each transport activity taking place between Yiwu and Madrid. Five scenarios are modelled using alternative transport routes. Optimal choices...
