Purpose Economic studies have always underlined the cyclical trends of many industries and their different relations to the macro-economic cycles. Shipping is one of those industries and it has been often characterised by peaks that have influenced both the trade patterns and industry investment structure (e.g. fleet, shipyard activity, freight rates). One of the main issues related with the cycles is the effect on overcapacity and prices for newbuilding and how the understanding of these patterns can help in preventing short-hand strategies. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate different effects of business elements on shipbuilding activity, in relation to different economic-cycle phases. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a non-linear econometric model to identify the relations between shipbuilding and economic cycles over the past 30 years. The research focuses on identifying the cycle characteristics and understanding the asymmetrical effect of economic- and business-related variables on its development. Findings The study underlines the presence of an asymmetric effect of several business variables on the shipbuilding productions, depending on the cyclical phases (i.e. market expansion or economic slowdown). Moreover, lagged effects seem to be stronger than contemporaneous variables. Originality/value The paper is a first attempt of using non-linear modelling to shipbuilding cycles, giving indications that could be included in relevant investment policies.

造船与经济周期:非线性计量经济学方法

目的经济研究一直强调许多行业的周期性趋势及其与宏观经济周期的不同关系。航运业是其中的一个行业,通常以高峰期为特征,这些高峰期对贸易模式和行业投资结构(例如船队,造船厂活动,运费)都产生了影响。与周期有关的主要问题之一是对新船的产能过剩和价格的影响,以及对这些模式的了解如何有助于防止短期策略。本文的目的是评估与不同经济周期阶段有关的业务要素对造船活动的不同影响。设计/方法/方法本文提出了一个非线性计量经济模型,以识别过去30年中造船与经济周期之间的关系。该研究的重点是确定周期特征,并了解与经济和商业有关的变量对其发展的不对称影响。研究结果强调了某些商业变量对造船生产的不对称影响,这取决于周期性阶段(即市场扩张或经济放缓)。此外,滞后效应似乎比同期变量要强。独创性/价值本文是将非线性建模用于造船周期的首次尝试,并给出了可能包含在相关投资政策中的指示。该研究的重点是确定周期特征,并了解与经济和商业有关的变量对其发展的不对称影响。研究结果强调了某些商业变量对造船生产的不对称影响,这取决于周期性阶段(即市场扩张或经济放缓)。此外,滞后效应似乎比同期变量要强。独创性/价值本文是将非线性建模用于造船周期的首次尝试,并给出了可能包含在相关投资政策中的指示。该研究的重点是确定周期特征,并了解与经济和商业有关的变量对其发展的不对称影响。研究结果强调了某些商业变量对造船生产的不对称影响,这取决于周期性阶段(即市场扩张或经济放缓)。此外,滞后效应似乎比同期变量要强。独创性/价值本文是将非线性建模用于造船周期的首次尝试,并给出了可能包含在相关投资政策中的指示。研究结果强调了某些商业变量对造船生产的不对称影响,这取决于周期性阶段(即市场扩张或经济放缓)。此外,滞后效应似乎比同期变量要强。独创性/价值本文是将非线性建模用于造船周期的首次尝试,并给出了可能包含在相关投资政策中的指示。研究结果强调了某些商业变量对造船生产的不对称影响,这取决于周期性阶段(即市场扩张或经济放缓)。此外,滞后效应似乎比同期变量要强。独创性/价值本文是将非线性建模用于造船周期的首次尝试,并给出了可能包含在相关投资政策中的指示。
