International Implications of Long-distance Transport of Fuels

Abstract: Abstract The long-distance transport of fuels and energy supports the foundations of every major economy in the world today. This is true in part because, for several centuries, cost-reducing innovations in transport have encouraged and facilitated the investment in transport required for interregional specialisation and exchange. Now, in a period of substantial fuel and energy cost increases, this paper uses recent Soviet economic experience to examine the potential role of the transport sector in alleviating the resulting problems confronting most of the world.
