“…As such, almost half of the articles involved air transportation, airport logistics or airport performance (Matsumoto 2007;Pathomsiri et al 2008). Other articles discussed issues related to rail (Chiara, Deflorio, and Spione 2008;Jensen and Stelling 2007), barge (Miljkovic et al 2000) and road transportation (Haughton 2008). The geographical focus rested on Europe, Taiwan and the U.S.…”

This paper reviews 726 academic research studies covering logistics and supply chain management (L'SCM) applications within a global context. Articles are analyzed according to their publication year and outlet, common themes, and countries or regions investigated. The sample was drawn from the ABI/INFORM Global database, which includes almost 1,800 journal titles. The review offers a starting point for researchers, graduate students, faculty members or practitioners examining international L'SCM applications. The article also draws attention to the wide array of global L'SCM studies conducted, their settings and viewpoints. Additionally, this paper highlights some of the most interesting works and draws attention to lesser‐researched countries and regions of the world. The overview also provides an introduction for practitioners and managers to what academic research has covered in the area of global L'SCM. Practitioners can use this review as a starting point for the identification of relevant and useful references for their particular task.

“…Their results suggested that grain exports, coal barge rates, input prices (fuel, labor), and distance influence grain barge rates. Miljkovic et al (2000) conducted a system estimation including both rail and barge transportation modes for export-bound grain movement. Supply and demand equations associated with the rail and barge market linking Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico were evaluated in an econometric approach.…”

This paper attempts to estimate structural demand for grain barge transportation on the upper Mississippi River. Results suggest an inelastic demand for grain barge transportation on the upper Mississippi in the short run while the price elasticity increases to 1.0 in the longer run. Additionally, foreign grain demand and domestic grain consumption are found to influence grain barge demand. Also, the winter season and floods affect demand negatively. Hausman's specification test shows the ordinary least square and two-stage least square estimates are statistically invariant.

“…Moreover, the long-term contract rates are not available publicly. The only available rate for study is the spot rate, which is generally employed in grain barge studies (Harnish and Dunn 1998;Miljkovic et al 2000). The spot rate is the current barge rate for shipping grain from river segments to export facilities located on the lower Mississippi River.…”
