Reviews
“The merit of this book is that it is able to attract a diverse audience; from pure practitioners to pure researchers but also any reader attempting to understanding the shipping markets from both angles. This can encourage the reader to navigate between theory and practice. … This book is worthwhile reading as I believe it can be inspirational for the readership on the path which can be pursued in terms of maritime economics research from a macroeconomic perspective.” (Enrico D’agostini, WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs, Vol. 23 (4), 2024)
