货物运输量的增加并不一定与生产效率的提高相对应。恰恰相反，特定的基础设施容易出现拥塞现象。在这种情况下，在给定值之后，输入的增加可能导致输出的减少。本研究的目的，基于数据分析，是双重的。首先，它旨在说明欧洲海港拥堵的重要性。其次，它打算比较不同的替代方案，以确定这种无效率。结果显示，欧洲一些海港出现了相当大的拥堵迹象。
Abstract The increase in cargo transportation has not necessarily corresponded to an improvement in the productive efficiency. Quite on the contrary, particular infrastructures are prone to the congestion phenomenon. In this case, after a given value the increase in inputs can lead to a decrease in outputs. The purpose of this study, based on data envelopment analysis, is twofold. First, it aims to account for the importance of congestion in European seaports. Second, it intends to compare different alternatives to determine this kind of inefficiency. The results show considerable signs of congestion in some European seaports.
