The investment efficiency of overseas ports: Three macroscopic factors

Research output: Chapter in book / Conference proceeding › Chapter in an edited book (as author) › Academic research › peer-review

Abstract

During the past two decades, Chinese enterprises have invested in over 100 ports in foreign nations, yet the efficiency of these ports varies. Through a literature analysis and case studies, this chapter seeks to demystify potential favorable preconditions for port efficiency. Three favorable macroscopic factors were proposed, namely, geopolitical opportunity, supply chain integrator, and supply chain host. The in-depth analysis of the Port of Piraeus, the Port of Hambantota, and the Port of Gwadar supports the hypothesis that the combination of the three recommended factors might ensure the investment efficiency of overseas ports.
