PORT PRICING AND INVESTMENT POLICY FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

This is a new publication by the World Bank. In its operations in developing countries, the World Bank has encountered a variety of pricing practices with diverse effects on port operations. After a somewhat involved discussion, the authors conclude that the basis for port tariffs should be marginal costs. The discussion covers other topics, e.g., congestion, competition and the national interest.
