- Abstract:
- In order to study the effectiveness of the logistics activities of countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt, this paper selects the 15 countries along the "Silk Road Economic Belt" as research samples, uses the logistics performance index from 2010 to 2018 issued by the World Bank as the sample data, and adopts the DEAMalmquist index method to dynamically evaluate the total factor productivity of logistics. The results show that in general, the overall logistics efficiency level of the 15 countries is unstable, the efficiency of technological progress is generally low, and the increase and decrease of comprehensive efficiency is basically consistent with the change trend of total factor productivity of logistics. In the perspective of the disparities among countries, after considering both the LPI rankings and logistics efficiency values of each calendar year, this paper divides the 15 countries into four categories based on their level of logistics performance as well as the state of their total factor productivity, and comes up with the causes and development trends of logistics efficiency fluctuations in each category of countries. In order to improve the logistics development level of China and the countries along the "Silk Road Economic Belt", it is proposed to build a highly efficient customs system, strengthen policy exchanges with said countries, give full play to the advantages in investment and technical support, enhance the logistics information cooperation among the countries, and improve the transaction satisfaction and logistics efficiency in international trade.
