Abstract

This paper attempts to find out the relationship between productivity, efficiency and technological change in Indian ports. The use of comparative static framework has proved that Indian ports have witnessed a significant technological metamorphosis in terms of capital use. Increasing use of overhead capital has produced significant improvement in productivities. These findings have important implications for technology policy in the port sector in LDCs and particularly in India. When technology has become truly global and old geographical barriers have been narrowing, future growth of a port is highly contingent upon how fast it accommodates the new technology and improved services.
