This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science funds a collaborative research project focused on the economics of port infrastructure and its role in international trade. The $205,980 project will be conducted by researchers at Boston College over 3 years, ending in August 2026.

The key objectives of the research are to investigate the returns to investing in transportation infrastructure, understand the drivers of port performance, and analyze why ports are prone to disruptions. To achieve this, the researchers will construct a unique database on global ports using satellite data, port charges, and union membership information. They will then develop a micro-model of port technology and demand for port services to quantify the welfare gains from infrastructure investments. The findings from this project are expected to inform policy decisions around infrastructure investment, port location, and the coordination of funding for ports.
