A modified regression model for forecasting the volumes of Taiwan’s import containers

Impact of export determinants on the export sector in Republic of Serbia

“…All these export factors (technology, marketing, logistics and proximity, fragmentability, information and familiarity, natural resources, infrastructure, value chain organization, which changes over time) make understandable the complex network of factors influencing export sector. According to Chou et al (2008), the study of single industry sector for import proved that a modified regression model with non-static variable for forecasting volumes of Taiwan's import containers offers the higher prediction accuracy and thus overcomes the traditional regression model for the same case. Therefore, if a country is able to predict the volume of imports, it would be able to adequatly manage the exports.…”

Container Throughput Forecasting Using Dynamic Factor Analysis and ARIMAX Model

“…The same port was the subject of research carried out by [14], where a multiple linear regression model was used to identify the influence of different economic factors on the forecasted cargo throughput. In a similar way, a linear regression model was conducted in a research of [15], where the estimation of future volumes of Taiwan's import containers was the primary goal. On the other hand, [16] have examined the container transhipment in Germany by applying the Box-Jenkins methodology and exponential smoothing.…”

“…A typical example of such studies are works of [14,15,18,20,21]. The authors in study [15] have shown the importance of the relationships between the container volumes and different macroeconomic variables.…”

“…A typical example of such studies are works of [14,15,18,20,21]. The authors in study [15] have shown the importance of the relationships between the container volumes and different macroeconomic variables. They have applied volumes of export and import containers, industrial production index, population, GDP, agricultural, industrial and service GDPs, GNP (gross national product), GNP per capita, and wholesale for the key factors in the analysis.…”

“…The forecasting of the cargo traffic can be performed with the historical cargo traffics or may be related with the arrival and departure ship numbers. In literature there are several efforts to predict the future cargo traffic of a seaport: [6,7,8,9,10].…”
