Innovative shipbuilding projects are relatively complex in design and equipped with advanced on-board systems. Vendors with different nationalities and cultures supply these systems, making the onshore-offshore location decision an important issue for these projects. A unique data set covering information of a Norwegian-owned fleet of 452 vessels is used to estimate and test the effects of the ship-owner's location and project complexity on the probability to choose onshore shipbuilding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
