Abstract

We examine the impact of the railway network's expansion on port activity during the First Globalization, utilizing new databases from French customs. In a panel regression, we show that the construction of railway stations near ports is positively correlated with the value of exports. Using product-level data, we propose that local railway lines might have supported the growth of export-oriented industries. This is in particular the case near small ports.

铁路和港口运输：第一波全球化浪潮中的法国案例

我们利用法国海关的新数据库，研究了第一次全球化期间铁路网扩张对港口活动的影响。在面板回归中，我们发现港口附近火车站的建设与出口额呈正相关。利用产品层面的数据，我们提出当地铁路线可能支持了出口导向型产业的增长。小港口附近的情况尤其如此。

期刊介绍： Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
