No full textPort Facilitation “The One-stop Shop”.
No full textAfrican importers and exporters face, in effect, the highest maritime transport costs. The aver-age
freight rate is 47% higher than that of other developing countries and more than twice as high as that
of developed countries, which is estimated at 5.21%. The countries most affected by exorbitant
transport costs are the landlocked countries of the continent. These additional costs weigh heavily on
the competitiveness of the countries and are the result of the existence of a long wait, a low
productivity as well as the inadequacy and inefficiency of the services rendered. Faced with this
problem of low competitiveness, the improvement of the quality of port services is often cited as a
priority axis for action in port development plans. The main reason is to bring the port closer to its
customers, who are importers and exporters, in order to build their loyalty and thus prevent them from
turning to competing port.
One stop shop is a measure that will obviously facilitate trade. Effective trade facilitation can help
reduce transport costs and thereby contribute to sustainable development.
The objective of this research work is to:
• Search for port performance, in particular by encouraging innovation;
• Promote logistics performance;
• Put in place incentive rules and procedures for investment and facilitate it.
We have adopted an empirical approach that makes it possible to respond to the problem of interactions
between companies during a commercial transaction at the international level
The Unpleasant Effects of Price Deregulation in the European Third-Party Motor Insurance Market: A Theoretical Framework.
No full textIn some European countries, the liberalization of the motor insurance market in the 1990s led
to substantial increases in fares and claims throughout the whole decade. In this paper we argue
that these phenomena are due to the impact of liberalization on companies’ optimal incentives to
fight fraud. By developing a circular city competition model with a cost-reducing stage prior to the
price game and a settlement stage following it, we show that price deregulation entails decreasing
monitoring investments and increasing claims both in the short and long run. Even equilibrium
premiums may steadily increase if the “competition effect” connected to new entries is outweighed
by a “monitoring effect” that raises marginal costs
“North Macedonian Hospitality Heaven: The Effectiveness of Technical-Industrial Zone Development from a Tourism Perspective”.
No full textThis paper explores the tourism incentive mechanism through the establishment of tourism
development zones in North Macedonia. The latter promotes the operational and commercial
tourism economy and derivatives that can be experienced in the context of a country with rich
cultural heritage, archaeological sites intertwined with spiritual culture cultivated in
monasteries and churches surrounded from the undisputed natural beauties. The evaluation of
mechanism effectiveness is done through the implementation of Limited information
maximum likelihood function by treating as weak instruments: value added tax (VAT),
personal income tax (PIT), tourism expenditures for passenger transport items, inflation,
foreign direct investments (FDIs) and remittances. It considers as main factors: international
tourism arrivals, population, unemployment rate and international tourism expenditures.
Comparatively, the weak instruments impact on exogenous regressors was explored through
two consecutive ordinary least square regressions. The main results confirm the positive
effects of tax burden exemption regarding the development of tourism sector in the technical industrial
zones
“Égalisation Urbaine et Politiques pour l’Économie de Sol (pour un tourisme naturaliste)”.
No full textAbstract: This study offers an analysis of the consequences that the lack of state regulation of
land consumption has on the promotion and enhancement of naturalistic, sustainable and responsible
tourism in Puglia, as well as, in a broader view, on the very survival of future generations. In
particular, a governmental strategy is proposed through a law dedicated to the preservation of the
soil, indicating its strategic steps, and aimed at recognizing those who take care of the earth, preserving
their natural characteristics, practicing organic and sustainable agriculture and providing
services ecosystems, the transfer of significant use values, by means of equalization and compensation,
which allows the territory to release its "natural utility" to the advantage of attracting naturalistic
tourism. Finally, the only authority competent to implement the correct strategies for safeguarding
and promoting the territory is identified as the local authority, expert on the territory it
governs
