abstract

  • The objective of this research is to analyze the behavior of global container traffic during the last decades by studying its behavior with respect to the economic cycle. For this, a dynamic econometric model is estimated for a panel of 49 countries during the period 2000-2016 that allows us to identify the short and long term relationships between maritime container traffic and economic activity measured by the volume of total international trade and international merchandise trade.
