Abstract
This paper examines the effects of logistics performance on international trade. A country's logistics capacity is measured by the Logistics Performance Index (
LPI
), compiled by the World Bank, which gives comparable country‐level data for 166 countries in six waves. We use the
LPI
in different gravity model approaches, comparing the results from fixed effects Poisson regressions, relative gravity, and a Probit estimation. We construct a bilateral trade dataset with 27,638 bilateral trade relationships from CEPIIs trade database. The results of all used approaches indicate sizable and significant positive effects of logistics performance on international trade. While positive and significant for all regions, the size of logistics effect on trade differs across the regions. The findings give relevant policy implications and stress the need to improve the logistics system and associated performance to encourage trade.
This study evaluates relative logistics efficiency and productivity change across eight Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) economies using World Bank Logistics Performance Index data for 2016, 2018, and 2023. A non-oriented Slack-Based Measure (SBM) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model is used to estimate...

While national logistics performance affects trade reliability and market access, as well as supply-chain resilience, it is unclear how much institutional capacity, digital connectivity, and trade integration contribute to this performance, both between countries and over time. This study analyzes explanatory patterns...

Background: This study develops the Logistics Sustainability Kuznets Curve (LSKC) to examine whether the relationship between logistics performance and transport carbon intensity changes across levels of logistics capability. Methods: An unbalanced panel of 565 observations from 126 economies across six World Bank Logi...
This research is concerned with the issue of translating financial resources into logistics and information-driven service effectiveness in developing and emerging Asian economies under differing institutional conditions. In particular, this study analyzes the moderating effect of institutions on the nonlinear relation...
