Integration of foreign trade and maritime transport statistics in Spain
2010
This article aims to contribute to improving maritime trade data by analysing the possibility of integrating in a single enlarged databank two different databases: the Spanish foreign trade and maritime transport datasets. The methodology adopted consisted of studying the primary sources providing data compiled in the foreign trade and maritime traffic databases, analysing the electronic processes used by informants and data collectors and examining the linkages between the different electronic messages involved. Once the links between the trade and sea transport documents and electronic messages were found, a solution for integrating both databases was envisaged. The main outcome is a new …

The increase in late medieval trade favoured the spread of technical developments in sea transport. Valencia, a growing market at this period, also went through significant changes. Closer analysis of the structure and behaviour of trading companies allows us to explore this. Persistence of poor financial resources and a piecemeal strategy in trade, combined with use of local shipping, affected the high number of stops and slowness in transactions. Le développement du commerce du bas moyen âge supposa la diffusion des progrès techniques dans le cadre du transport maritime. Valencie, un marché en expansion à cette époque, subit aussi des transformations fondamentales. Néanmoins, l'analyse de…
Creating Global Markets : Seaborne Trade in Pulp and Paper Products Over the Last 400 Years
2018
The declining cost of sea transport has been a necessary condition for the growth of the global pulp and paper industry, especially in regions remote from economic centres. Thus, pulp and paper industries and international shipping have coevolved, especially since the 1960s, enabling producers to tap global markets and develop global production chains. The paper products trade flows, however, have changed a number of times over the last 400 years. This chapter describes and explains these developments and shows how the technological solutions in global shipping and strategic choices among the pulp and paper companies have been interdependent, especially since the 1960s. peerReviewed
