Does Cross-Border Logistics Performance Contribute to Export Competitiveness? Evidence from China Based on the Iceberg Transport Cost Model

This paper investigates the economic relationship between logistics performance and export competitiveness based on iceberg transport cost model conducts further empirical analysis according to China’s LPI. It finds that higher efficiency of transport, lower transportation costs coefficient per unit distance; when decrease, foreign demand for domestic goods increases, as does value expressed in prices. Additionally, Spearman’s rank correlation method is used analyze index level, indicating has a positive with level at significant 1%. Moreover, case study China’ LPI supports conclusion derived from theoretical analysis, conducive countermeasures are put forward. research confirms proposes specific solutions enhancing capabilities other developing countries.
