Abstract

Despite the interest shown by many authors in port management, only a few contributions have tried to evaluate the relative impact of policy adjustment on the port performance. Based on the literature reviews, a statistical approach was adopted to measure the impact of policy adjustment on economic, operational and governance performance. The sampled harbor districts cover over 44 % of the annual operated container volume in Shanghai Port. Empirical outcomes reveal that a strong positive relationship between economic indicators and operational indicators, and a negative relationship between economic/operational indicators and governance performance. This article, by addressing the complexity and diversification of variables affecting the port performance, provides an exploratory contribution on the policy research in the literature.
