Economic Importance of Belgian Transport Logistics

Abstract: The purpose of these working papers is to promote the circulation of research results (Research Series) and analytical studies (Documents Series) made within the National Bank of Belgium or presented by external economists in seminars, conferences and conventions organised by the Bank. The aim is therefore to provide a platform for discussion. The opinions expressed are strictly those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Bank of Belgium.

“…For the GIS analysis of the revealed preference data, we used the top 200 logistics companies in Flanders in terms of added value, as identified by the National Bank of Belgium. This may seem only a small portion of the almost 11,000 logistics companies active in Flanders, but the vast majority of these companies are (very) small SMEs, including independent truckers (Lagneaux 2008). Hence, by selecting the top 200 logistics companies, only firms with considerable land use and accessibility needs were included.…”
