Type: Text
Year: 2001, 2001
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Ivy, Russell L.
Description: Alternative or gay tourism is receiving greater attention in both the business and academic worlds. This segment of the tourism market is found to travel more frequently than the ‘straight’ market and is more recession-proof in their travel behaviour.

Port competition for cargo tonnage in the U. S. South
Type: Text
Year: 2002, 2002
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Ivy, Russell L., Witters, Roberta L.
Description: Ports in the United States compete in a relatively free market system. Because shipping lines are free to choose the ports they utilize, port authorities have to continually upgrade their facilities to keep pace with changes in the industry. The container revolution altered the entire shipping network system, and ports have been called upon to respond to the needs of the shipping companies.… more

Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Ivy, Russell L.
Description: This paper looks at the various types of hubs that have evolved in the air transportation network in the USA. Since deregulation of the industry at the end of the 1970s, the major air carriers have expanded their networks to become more competitive, and the number and types of hubs have grown accordingly. A connectivity analysis using a traditional matrix approach is used to derive indices which… more

Year: 1996, 1996
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Ivy, Russell L.
Description: The building of private sector economies in East Central Europe is receiving a great deal of attention in both the business and academic worlds. Thus far, most of the focus has been on the sale of older, state-owned enterprises to the private sector (privatization).

Description: In the past few decades social scientists have become increasingly interested in issues related to the nation's elderly. One important reason for this growing enthusiasm is the dramatic increase in the number of aged. At the tum of the century the elderly accounted for about 4% of the U.S. population. It reached 10% during the 1970s (Graff and Wiseman 1978) and presently the share of the… more

Contributors: Copp, Charles B., Ivy, Russell L.
Description: Tourism development in post-communist East Central Europe is characterized by growing numbers of international visitors.

Description: Transportation plays a crucial role in the location and development of economic activity. Early transportation network development models discussed by Taaffe, Gauthier and O'Kelly (1996) as well as Lowe and Moryadas (1975) help to illustrate the important relationship between the two.

Type: Text
Year: 2001, 2001
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Copp, Charles B., Ivy, Russell L.
Description: It is argued that the development of small economic enterprises is vital for a transitioning economy (Gibb 1993: Gibb and Haas 1996). Small businesses provide an outlet for many specialized workers to start their own firm, thus providing a foundation for a newly transitioning economy(Erutku and Vallee 1997). This philosophy has led to "a very substantial growth of the micro-small business… more

Year: 1994, 1994
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Ivy, Russell L., Shaw, Shih-Lung
Description: The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 introduced high-level competition into the US domestic industry. The resulting network changes have created a deluge of research, largely focused on the hub-and-spoke structure. Over 15 years have passed since deregulation, and the industry still appears somewhat unsettled. Recent concerns of domestic carriers include downsizing of some hubs, and discussions… more
