Study On The Spatial Effect Of Transportation Infrastructure On The Development Of Logistics Industry

Transportation infrastructure is the leading capital of economic and social development.The construction and improvement of transportation infrastructure can promote the rapid flow of elements in space,speed up the free flow of human,material and capital,reduce transportation costs and improve the circulation rate.The rapid development of logistics industry depends on the improvement of logistics efficiency.As the carrier of logistics elements circulation,transportation infrastructure forms the resultant force and power of logistics industry development to a certain extent.Therefore,it is of great practical significance to study the influence of transportation infrastructure on the development of logistics industry in China.Based on the externality and network characteristics of transportation infrastructure,ignoring the spatial effect will exaggerate its impact on the development of logistics industry to a certain extent.Therefore,this paper adds the spatial factor of transportation infrastructure into the research model to study the spatial spillover effect of transportation infrastructure on the development of logistics industry from the perspective of space.Based on the existing literature,this paper systematically studies the impact of transportation infrastructure on the development of logistics industry,explores the spatial spillover effect of transportation infrastructure on logistics efficiency based on spatial Durbin model,and further analyzes its direct and indirect effects.Firstly,this paper uses data envelopment analysis to calculate the logistics efficiency of provinces and cities in China from 2008 to 2017.On this basis,the spatial autocorrelation test is carried out on the transportation infrastructure and logistics efficiency of provinces and regions in China from the global and local aspects.The results show that there is a significant spatial correlation between transportation infrastructure and logistics efficiency.On this basis,using the spatial econometric theory developed in recent years,this paper constructs a 0-1 spatial weight matrix to analyze the spatial impact of China's transportation infrastructure on the development of logistics industry from 2008 to 2017,and draws the conclusion that railway and highway infrastructure have a significant positive effect on the development of China's logistics industry,and these two have a significant role in promoting the local logistics efficiency,It also has a certain impact on the logistics efficiency of the surrounding areas.
