Abstract
This paper aims at investigating the determinants of
maritime transport costs[1]. The costs and its effect on international trade
will be estimated using highly disaggregated data of shipments from five
Spanish ports to seventeen destinations. The paper focuses on the effect of
maritime networks, services structure and port infrastructure variables on
maritime transport costs. The main findings of this study should contribute
significantly to explain the variability of maritime transport costs and that
maritime transport costs play a significant role in influencing international
trade. The effect is magnified when transport costs are considered endogenous.
KeyWords: maritime transport costs, connectivity, Spanish
exports
