At the Deep End of the Gas Pump - From ‘Shallow’ Waters to Floods - Inland Shipping’s Impact on Fuel Prices ub Germany

This project investigates the role of inland shiping for gasoline, diesel and heating oil prices in Germany. With Konstantin Kuck I try to gauge the value and impac of inland shipping on fuel prices in Germany by using water levels during draughts and floods when shipping on Rhine and Donau comes to a halt to estimate the economic relevance of these water streets.
