Publication A game theoretical approach for modeling competitions in a maritime supply chain(Taylor & Francis, 2016-10-13) Liying Song; Dong Yang; Anthony Theng Heng Chin; Guangzhi Zhang; Zhengbing He; Wei Guan; Baohua Mao; ECONOMICSPublication Impact of the Car Sharing Scheme on mode choice(1998) Chin, Anthony T.H.; Lee, Derek S.W.; ECONOMICSThe Car Sharing Scheme (CSS) which was first introduced in Europe indirectly lead to the need for less parking space, improved air quality and a reduction in traffic congestion. This study assesses the effectiveness of the scheme in influencing the travel behaviour of car and non-car owners.Publication The social cost of fatal road traffic accidents in Singapore(2002) Th, Chin A.; ECONOMICSPublication Influences on commuter trip departure time decisions in Singapore(1990) Chin, A.T.H.; ECONOMICS & STATISTICSPublication Modeling the location choices of foreign investments in Chinese logistics industry(2007) HONG, J.; CHIN, A.T.H.; ECONOMICSThis paper attempts to identify the location determinants of foreign investment in the Chinese logistics industry. Based on a theoretical model, a nested logit model is introduced and estimated using data on 1775 foreign logistics establishments. We find that large market size attracts foreign investment, but high labor costs act as a deterrent. Good transportation infrastructure and high labor quality are positive factors. Logistics entrants prefer cities with many existing logistics providers, confirming the existence of service agglomeration economies. Capital cities attract more logistics investment, but there is no evidence that special economic zones and open coastal cities have significant advantages in attracting logistics investment. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Regression analysis showed that air traffic growth rates are positively associated with GDP growth rates. The study of the cycles of aircraft orders and deliveries reveal that Asian carriers usually place orders for new aircraft a year after making good profits and these aircraft are delivered after 2-3 years. The delivery of aircraft results in over-capacity, and the decrease in load factors depresses airline profits. Economic cycles are amplified in the industry by capacity investments. The Markov Model was adapted to test the relationship between airline growth and profitability and to predict the survival probabilities of Asian carriers. The results of the study indicate that an airline's growth and profitability are positively related. The survival probabilities of airlines increase as asset size and profits increase. The key implications for Asian airlines are to improve their forcasting techniques, capacity flexibility and responsiveness to the changing environment. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Using MILP we comapare North Adriatic ports with North European ports and determine their relative attractiveness for Bavarian shippers in case of importing containerized goods from far east. The results of the model show that despite better geographical position of North Adriatic ports Bavarian shippers are attracted to Nort European ports. The model also shows that land transport costs and subjective preferance rate play a large role in Port Choice.Publication Carbon emission allocation methods for the aviation sector(2013-05) Chin, A.T.H.; Zhang, P.; ECONOMICSThe European Union Directive 2008/101/EC to include aviation activities in its Emissions Trading Scheme by 2012 has met with mixed reactions. Any permit allocation method must be relatively easy to understand, implement and low in administration costs. The proposed method of allocation however does not favor energy efficient aircraft operators and may undermine efforts to restrict growth of emissions from the aviation sector. This study proposes an alternative permit allocation method which favors energy efficient aircraft operators and avoids excessive over competition. It tests the outcomes through experiments. The experiments are built on the Cournot model designed to simulate the aviation industry under the EU and Augmented EU emissions trading schemes. Results suggest higher profits for airlines but at the expense of higher operating costs. The higher profits are primarily the result of higher revenues. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
