European Added Value of the TEN-T Corridors. Basic Research Needs and Challenges
Journal Title: TransNav, the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The main objective of the paper is to stimulate the research processes focusing on the measure of European added value (EAV). By relying on present research results, the author indicates that there is a need to examine the mechanism of creating and distributing EAV generated within EU core network corridors. It has been pointed out that the core research activity should be oriented towards analyzing the market processes determining the distribution of the value across the logistics value chains. The distribution process should be viewed within the three basic dimensions: 1/ spatial, 2/ network, 3/ functional. It has been stressed that there are no possibilities to adapt such macro- and micro-economic models like: CBA, ENPV, RAEM, Trans-Tools or NEAC to measure EAV. As a result, within the further research only the dedicated economic and statistical analysis as well methods for measuring the quality and value of logistics processes may be efficiently used.
