dc.description.abstract	This paper, utilizing a complete market data set from Drewry Shipping Consultants, determines short-run cost functions for dry bulk carriers. Specification of the short-run to be one month and standard log-log functional form give estimations supporting average elasticities of the magnitude .45 for voyage length and -.56 for vessel size.
