{"product_id":"9783030949679","title":"Interventions to Reduce Logistic Costs for Trade Competitiveness and Poverty : A Productive Transformation Platform (Contributions to Economics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLogistics are a critical element for country competitiveness and economic performance, including poverty reduction. Most emerging countries such as Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean are focusing on export-led growth strategies and poverty reduction strategies, and their performance is adversely affected by their high logistic costs that range from 10% to 50% of product value. This book illustrates the relevance and impact of logistics on these areas while also offering an effective logistics and infrastructure framework that addresses the full spectrum of the productive chain (upstream, midstream and downstream). It provides a structured agenda for designing and implementing holistic policy interventions (soft and hard components) to reduce logistic costs. Featuring case studies and examples of specific interventions and their impact in many countries, a number of them in Latin America,this book is useful to scholars, academics, practitioners and policy makers interested in the reduction of logistics costs and poverty reduction in the global economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n 1. \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMotivation for Analysis and Evaluation of Logistic Costs.- 2. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eObjectives and Content of a Logistic Costs Evaluation Task.- 3. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMethodology: Definition, and Selection of Variable to Measure Logistic Costs.- 4. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Case in Point To Illustrate the Problematic of Logistic Costs.- 5. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eImpact and Benefits of Decreases in Logistic Costs.- 6. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eSources,  and  Incidence of Logistic Costs.- 7. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMethodological Notes and Phases for the Evaluation of Logistic Costs.- 8. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eFactors and Elements of Logistic Costs.- 9. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoving Forward: Towards an Effective Logistics-Infrastructure and Services Platform: Typology of Interventions (soft and Hard) to Reduce Logistic Costs.- 10. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecific Examples on Interventions to Reduce Logistic Costs and Impact.- 11. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eConclusión\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eJose Luis Guasch, a PhD in Economics from Stanford University, USA and Engineer form the Polytechnical University of Barcelona, Spain, is a renowned international expert in logistic and public-private-partnerships (PPP) currently assisting countries and lecturing on international conferences on improving countries logistic and PPP platforms.
