In addition, the analysis explores the moderating role of global supply chain pressures (GSCP), alongside firm-specific and macroeconomic variables, in shaping the WCM–profitability nexus. The findings show that shipping firms tend to adopt aggressive WCM strategies, particularly in response to firm-level characteristics and global economic conditions. Importantly, the results differ from previous research by showing a U-shaped link between working capital investment and firm performance, suggesting an optimal WCM level that boosts profitability. While WCM negatively affected return on assets (ROA) during the global financial crisis and a China-US trade war, it had a positive impact during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the strategic importance of internal liquidity management in times of crisis. Furthermore, firms significantly increased their working capital allocation amid elevated supply chain pressures, with the relationship between the cash conversion cycle (CCC), GSCP, and profitability also exhibiting an inverted U-shaped pattern. These findings underscore the need for government agencies and policymakers to strengthen corporate liquidity frameworks, promote efficient WCM practices, and enhance firms’ responsiveness to monetary policy amidst intensifying global supply chain disruptions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101581"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144204705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussions benefitted from embedding in the Strategic – Tactical – Operational (STO) framework. This identified a mismatch between issues that were in the tactical and operational categories and a further mismatch between tactical and strategic where the tactical level is critical in translating strategic objectives into operational activities. In this context it became clear from a number of papers that there was a lack of clarity in governance frameworks (tactical level) leading to an unsurprising lack of clarity in operational activities. Policy recommendations included the promotion of global learning, the growing role for government to work with industry and the expansion of the training portfolios.

While trade-offs are often made based on traditional cost benefit analysis, economists and researchers increasingly account for social and environmental impacts of public transport provision. Workshop 7b of the 18th International Conference on Competition and Ownership in Land Passenger Transport set out to address the factors that contribute to decision-making processes and the challenges of implementing new approaches. It included ten papers which report evidence about transport poverty, accessibility index, value of travel time saving for children, personal safety on public transport, social inclusion, community building, and service time extension for special events. The workshop discussed what factors should be considered in transport service designs to make transport systems more equitable and inclusive for users and non-users and what implications does transport service design and accessibility have for community building.

While these challenges are particularly pronounced in developing countries, similar issues are observed in Europe, where women frequently report negative experiences as users of transport systems. This study investigates whether Mobility as a Service (MaaS) can address these gender-specific concerns by providing safer, more flexible and inclusive transport options. A survey was conducted with Italian respondents to identify women's mobility needs, with a particular focus on security. Basic statistical analysis of the survey results reveals that both women and men acknowledge the security challenges women face while travelling and rate security features to be included in a MaaS application for improving their experiences. Based on the survey results, the study proposes a set of key features for a \"MaaS4Women\" application that could help reduce perceived risks and enhance security. The findings suggest that customizing MaaS features and bundles to meet women's specific needs could be an important step towards improving gender equity in transport.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47810,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Economics","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 101585"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144184589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
