“…Cai et al (2021) prove, theoretically, that when airlines use aircraft belly to transport cargo and the belly capacity is limited, introducing HSR as a competitor in the passenger sector would reduce air traffic in both passenger and cargo sectors. Chen and Jiang (2020) empirically show that the entry of HSR services reduces the belly-hold cargo volumes and flight frequencies, with the strongest impacts observed in the medium-haul markets. At the same time, the cargo volumes and flight frequencies of freighter cargo increase, albeit not able to fully compensate for the loss of belly cargo capacity.…”

“…Airfreight shipments from China are used for the fast transportation of goods. Airfreight is critical to the modern supply chain as it enables efficient and timely delivery [14]. The study of [15] discusses the situation of China's air cargo sector in the face of the pandemic COVID-19 and suggests strategies for Chinese air cargo providers to adapt to the pandemic.…”

Selecting a Rational Scheme of Delivery by Road Transport: A Case Study of Goods Deliveries from China to Russia through Kazakhstan

Road transport is in most cases the only available transport option in rural regions with undeveloped railway infrastructure. The problem of choosing the structure of the logistics chain is one of the most important ones that forwarding companies must solve when planning freight transportation. Due to political peculiarities, transportation of goods by road through the territory of Kazakhstan must be carried out by national forwarders, which results in centralizing the decision-making process and shifting the tasks of designing the structure of supply chains to the Kazakh forwarding companies. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to solve the problem of choosing the right structure for a logistics chain. The proposed model considers the existing legal constraints in the region. Based on a simulated demand for cargo deliveries from China to Russia, we use a numerical example to show how to justify the structure of the logistics chain characterized by minimal total costs of the companies involved in the delivery process.

“…However, some scholars believe that the construction of high-speed rail will have a negative impact on the environment. On the one hand, as the opening of high-speed rail greatly facilitates residents' travel, it will lead to more traffic demand to a certain extent, which will lead to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions [20][21][22][23]. Givoni and Dobruszkes [20] found that the opening of a high-speed railway leads to a 20% travel demand increase.…”

Under the background of global warming, it is of great significance to explore how to realize environmentally sustainable development. This paper takes China’s three major urban agglomerations as the research objects: Yangtze River Delta, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, and Pearl River Delta. Generally, we use carbon emission efficiency to represent the sustainable development of the environment. Then we use the city-level panel data of the three urban agglomerations from 2006 to 2019 to construct the slacks-based measure integrating data envelopment (SBM-DEA) model for calculating each city’s carbon dioxide emission efficiency. Finally, we construct the spatial difference-in-differences (SDID) model to explore the impact of high-speed rail construction on each urban agglomeration’s carbon dioxide emission efficiency and its internal mechanism. The findings are as follows: (1) On the whole, high-speed rail construction improves urban agglomerations’ carbon dioxide emission efficiency. Meanwhile, it has a positive spatial spillover effect on surrounding areas. (2) In terms of urban agglomerations, high-speed rail construction has significantly promoted carbon emission efficiency in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region. However, it has had negative external effects on the surrounding areas. (3) From the perspective of mechanism analysis, the construction of high-speed rail has promoted manufacturing agglomeration in the Pearl River Delta region and, at the same time, has had a negative impact on the local carbon dioxide emission efficiency. This study has strong policy implications for promoting the sustainable development of the three major urban agglomerations.
