Rezensionen

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.
