| Abstract: | The estimation of a freight transport demand function using a Conditional Logit model has highlighted the role of cost, transit time, and frequency of shipments as determinants of mode choice. Data about mode of transport, price, transit time, and other variables was collected. A total of 157 exporting firms located within the Valencian Community were interviewed. The modes examined were road and sea. Elasticity analysis has found sea transport much more sensitive than road transport to variations in its own costs and changes in trasport prices. |
