摘要

海港竞争力的测量和评估是一个重要的学术兴趣,因为它反映在越来越多的国际文献在这一领域。然而,鉴于非洲港口经济学的实证研究非常有限,本文旨在确定非洲海港系统竞争力的主要决定因素。这是通过主成分分析完成的。基于北非和西非14个国家7年的纵向数据,这项研究表明,港口基础设施的处理成本、连通性、容量和质量是解释港口竞争力的重要因素。不出所料,北非海港比西方海港更具竞争力。本文对港口竞争力进行了重要的文献综述。经验性研究也可以大大促进对非洲海港系统的了解,并对非洲港口政策的制定和管理有用。

SEAPORT COMPETITIVENESS: A COMPARATIVE EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS BETWEEN NORTH AND WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES USING PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS
The measurement and evaluation of seaport competitiveness is of important academic interest, as it is reflected in the increasing amount of international literature in this field. However, in the light of very limited empirical studies about port economics for Africa, this paper aims at identifying the major determinants of competitiveness of the African seaport systems. This was accomplished using Principle Component Analysis. Based on 7-year longitudinal data for 14 countries in North and West Africa, this study shows that handling costs, connectivity, capacity and the quality of port infrastructure are important in explaining port competitiveness. As expected, North African seaports were found to be more competitive than those in the West. This article provides an important literature review on port competitiveness. The empirical study can also contribute substantially to the knowledge of the African seaport systems and be useful for African port policy development and management.
