本文探讨了“一带一路”经济走廊作为中欧贸易路线替代品的潜力。通过构建考虑成本、环境影响、运输方式可靠性和安全性、运输时间和基础设施可靠性的新的航线效用函数，论证了走廊相对于传统海洋航线的显著优势及其对中国不同地区的异质性影响。强调了在选择贸易路线时考虑基础设施可靠性的重要性。更重要的是，这项研究的分析可以产生深刻的影响，适当的物流规划下的发展，其他经济合作和贸易协定在世界各地。
This paper investigates the potential of Belt and Road economic corridors to serve as China-Europe trading route alternatives. By constructing a new Route Utility Function considering cost, environmental impact, mode reliability & security, transit time, and infrastructure reliability, we demonstrate the remarkable advantages of the corridors over the traditional ocean route and their heterogeneous impacts on different regions of China. The importance of considering infrastructure reliability for trading route selections is highlighted. More importantly, the analyses of this study could generate insightful implications for proper logistics planning under the development of other economic cooperation and trading agreements throughout the world.
