Abstract
[en] This master thesis examines the extent to which private companies can reduce the 'last mile problem' in the city logistics by stressing the environmental impact of the delivery to their customers. More precisely, this master thesis aims at identifying whether private companies can bring a solution to the 'last mile problem' by highlighting the environmental impact of the home delivery versus the collect point delivery. Indeed, it is often stressed in the literature that collect points can reduce the 'last mile problem' often observed in city logistics. We intend to address this research objective by conducting an controlled experiment among e-commerce consumers.
