airports in the United States, and government
agencies. Over the past 25 years Dr. Martin has
conducted more than 500 economic, planning and
marketing studies for seaports in the United States,
Asia, Europe and South America.
He is involved in assessing the economic costs
of terminal congestion at container terminals and of
the West Coast Port shutdown. He also assesses the
impact of restrictive trade policies on the marine
transportation system.
Dr. Martin also prepares analysis for ocean carriers,
marine terminal operators, airports and federal agencies
in the United States and Canada. He has conducted
port studies for more than 20 ports in Canada, is the
author of numerous articles and is a frequent lecturer
on commodity flow forecasting and the economic analysis
of ports and transportation systems.
Dr.
Martin was the principal author of United States
Economic Growth and the Marine Transportation System
for the Marine Transportation System National Advisory
Council. The report documented the economic value of
the MTS and further identified the key constraints and
issues facing the MTS.
The paper was presented to Vice President
Cheney as well as Department of Transportation
Secretary Mineta as a transition paper for the Bush
Administration.
As
principal author of the Economic Impact of Steel
Imports on the Nation's Marine Transportation System,
Dr. Martin documented the economic impact of the steel
imports into the United States and identified the
potential cost of steel import quotas. In January 2002
Dr. Martin testified before the Council of Economic
Advisors and the International Trade Policy Council
regarding the imposition of the steel import quotas.
Dr.
Martin has also prepared the economic analysis for the
1999 ILWU contract negotiations at the West Coast
ports. His

“encourage” the discontinuation of work slowdowns
by the ILWU at the Ports of Oakland and Los
Angeles/Long Beach.
He was deeply involved in evaluating the
economic impacts of the 2003 West Coast Port shutdown.
As part of the analysis, the Martin Associates
economic impact models were reviewed and used by the
U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the Bush
Administration and the U.S. Council of Economic
Advisors. During
the shutdown, he appeared on CNN, CNBC, the BBC, and
NPR regarding the economic dislocations that occurred
during and after the West Coast port shutdown. He is
currently involved in assessing the potential impacts
of various security measures imposed at U.S. port
marine terminals.

Washington University, a Masters degree in Economics
