Infrastructure and logistics for economic activity of states

7th International Scientific Conference Innovation as the Initiator of Development, 2021

There is a two-way interaction between logistics and international trade. For countries, your logistics sector and infrastructure must be both adequate and integrated with the rest of the world if you want to raise your share of international trade. With a new MCDM method, REF-III, and two different model, this study attempted to investigate countries' activities in the context of infrastructure, logistics, international trade, and economic growth. China and Russia were found to be at the forefront according to the findings of both models. The United States, on the other hand, came out on top in a model that looked at efficiency in international trade and economic growth. However, certain Caucasian and Balkan countries, which have endured different crises, wars, and turbulence over the last four decades, came in last in both models. The investments, and reforms related to infrastructure and logistics carried out by the countries at the forefront of the world trade and logistics' sector should serve as a model for the remaining countries.

The study aims to evaluate the impact of the determinants of logistics on Vietnam’s economy, especially the period after Vietnam joined WTO. We used the logistics indexes as a representative for the logistics sector to assess their impacts. Vietnam’s logistics data is collected from World Bank in the period from 2007 to 2019. Our research also used the OLS regression model to assess the influence of logistics on the Vietnam economy with independent and dependent variables. Six independent variables are representing for logistics activities such as logistics infrastructure (Log 1), logistics service quality (Log 2), on-time shipment (Log 3), up-to-date delivery information (Log 4), logistics competitive price (Log 5), and convenient customs (Log 6). The results of models showed that the logistics infrastructure, the on-time shipment, up-to-date delivery, and the competitive price have impacted positively on Vietnam’s economy. While the service quality has an insignificant effect and the convenient customs (Log 6) have significant negative effects. The results of the studying also indicated that the models are appropriate to evaluate the influence of logistics on Vietnam’s economy. Moreover, the Vietnam government can use these findings to formulate suitable economic policies, especially logistics policies on the integration process.

Since an efficient, performing logistic system is a key factor of sustainable economic growth (Havenga, 2010), analyzing the relationship between logistics performance and the economic development level of a country becomes of relevance. Ben Shepherd (Shepherd, B., 2013) considers that there are numerous direct and indirect connections between the logistics sector, economic growth and development. OECD/WTO survey on Aid for Trade confirms Havenga's statement and 80% of the partner country respondents, included the facilitation of transport and trade in their top AfT priorities. Transport is a key factor in their national development strategies and a source of economic growth, like no other sector. In this paper, we will focus on the relation between the logistics performance and the economic development from EU's former communist countries and the other 18 EU countries. Thus, the EU countries, which have higher levels of economic development, are also the countries, where lo...

The most significant elements that enable us to understand economic growth and development levels of nations are economic indicators of the country of interest. As much as these indicators have positive and high values, they affect the economic, social, psychological and cultural texture of the nation positively. These effects increase the culture, living and welfare levels of the individuals in the society. Logistics is one of the tools that play an important role in the change and improvement of economic indicators. Logistics industry provides significant macro contributions to national economy by creating employment, and creating national income and foreign investment influx. On the micro scale, logistics industry is a key industry in increasing the competitive power of corporations. Furthermore, the logistics industry has an important mission in revitalizing and improvement of the competitiveness of other industries. Today, all industries are dependent on logistics sector. The present study aimed to investigate how the logistics variables of transportation and communication affected economic growth in 34 OECD countries. The effect of both transportation industry variables and communication industry variables that form the logistics industry on the increase in per capita income in OECD countries was identified.

Modern logistics significantly influences the globalization and internationalization processes. Logistics systems are becoming increasingly important in today's rapidly changing environment. The aim of the article was to investigate the national logistics systems of developing countries in the context of their integration capabilities. The main methods used in this study are statistical analysis, index, graphical and analytical methods, methods for estimating structural dynamic shifts, comparisons. Commonly used methods of economic research, as well as statistical analysis and interstate comparisons, economic modelling (trend analysis to determine the forecast level of LPI for Ukraine), etc. were also involved. The logistics environment of Poland, Bulgaria, India and Ukraine, as well as the factors of its formation are evaluated. The components of the logistic portrait of the country in the context of integration capabilities of the logistic system are offered. It was found for the studied countries that the destimulator of the national logistics system is infrastructure (for Poland), infrastructure and customs (for Bulgaria and Ukraine), customs (for India). It is these components that need priority attention in the context of increasing the integration capabilities of logistics systems, because the results indicate that they lag far behind international standards. Prospects for further research involve studies of the impact of pandemics, globalization, digitalization on logistics systems, including that of developing countries.

Asia's trade has soared over the past two decades. An integrated and global direct distribution business model has already been developed to ship products directly from Asia to Western and other markets along the global supply chain. In spite of their rich resources, Asian countries have not been able to utilize their vast potential due to the lack of regional connectivity and to the existence of "choke points" in Asian supply chains. An Asia-wide transport and logistics network is essential for Asian countries to get their goods to markets more effectively, but its overall progress has so far been limited. An innovative approach is needed to address the physical infrastructure as well as the nonphysical, soft infrastructure issues. This article concludes with solutions identified by Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The focus of this article is on selected areas within.

Gene technology, information technologies and logistics are ranked among the most important strategic sectors of 21st century. Particularly, the fact that production and distribution of goods and services are not satisfactory today; has both contributed to development of logistics within the supply chain by creating a value chain throughout the channel and introduced its aspect which supports regional development in economic sense. Logistics today, stands before us as the most important weapon of competitive advantage; and all investments made almost in all areas of logistics, aid regional development in micro scale and national development in macro scale. In the context of economic impact, the effect of logistics on GDP is significant. Logistics, in the same way, effects development and improvement of education, health and all other development related issues in its region through investments and improvements. In this study, firstly regional development is defined then the goals of regional development and the role and effects of logistics in regional development are presented. INTRODUCTION Logistics, assisting flow of goods, services, and values within the chain from the production spot to the consumption spot and oppositely, from the consumption spot to the production spot; signifies an important point in terms of development of economies. Share of logistics within GDP in most developing countries cannot be denied. Today, when separation of production from consumption, and execution of both activities within limits are in question; logistics management has gained importance and has become one of the important factors determining development levels of various regions within countries. The concept of regional development has been identified, and importance and objectives of regional development have been defined in the study. Besides, the role of logistics in regional development has been explained and the impact of logistics sector in development of Turkey has been presented through various numbers. As the method of the study, official institution resources, academic studies and internet resources covering statistics related to logistics and development have been analyzed, a research has been built up, and to put forth the role of logistics on regional development has been aimed.

The creation and development of Kazakhstan as a trade, logistics and business hub of the region is on the agenda of the Government of Kazakhstan. To achieve this, central and local governments, private businesses invest in new infrastructure projects in logistics. The article investigates the problems of modern logistics infrastructure formation in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The survey results show that the attractiveness of Kazakhstan as a transport and logistics hub will depend on the state of logistics infrastructure, service quality, and technology used. Further development will largely depend on its ability to diversify and create logistics facilities with high added value. Priorities and the need for multi-level transport logistic centres have been defined; their development in domestic, export and transit directions has been described, both at the national and international levels and at the enterprise level as well. 58 Zh.

Purpose of this paper-This paper identifies the essential activities at logistics facilities and describes the progression of these facilities to logistics city. The impact of the progression on economies of agglomeration is analysed, the practical implication is presented, and the need for government initiatives, intervention and coordination as a catalyst is explained. Design/methodology/approach-Based on the sophistication of logistics facilities progression, the essential activities at various logistics facilities are collected and the impact on economies of agglomeration is analysed. Findings-This paper finds that while agglomeration economies explain past development, agglomeration forces alone are insufficient and government intervention is required as a catalyst. This may be in the form of the development of a common user freight terminal with intermodal and customs capability, e.g. inland port to aggregate consolidation/deconsolidation activities. Research implications and limitations-The identification of essential activities of logistics facilities can minimise or prevent inappropriate uses of these facilities to ensure effective and efficient logistics services planning and high utilisation of transport infrastructure. The impact analyse of economies of agglomeration points out the role a government should play in logistics facilities development. Value of paper-The paper identifies essential activities for logistics facilities and therefore makes it possible for governing agencies to plan and protect the development of logistics facilities and ensure high utilisation and effective usage of such facilities. The gap identification of economies of agglomeration ensures tangible economic benefits can be achieved through appropriate government supported logistics facility developments.

The objective of the paper is managerial evaluation of the level of logistics on individual continents and to find out dependence between the level of logistic systems and the level of GDP in the selected countries of the world. To evaluate logistics, we used the Logistics Performance Index and its six categories (customs clearance, infrastructure, international shipment, logistic competencies, monitoring shipment, and satisfaction). The index of gross domestic product was shown per capita and in constant U.S. dollars for 2010. The analyzed period was the years 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. Together, we analyzed 134 countries from five of the world’s continents. Results are provided separately for the European countries and the Slovak Republic. To find out mutual linear dependence, we used the correlation coefficient. From the results of the research, it is clear that there is a connection between the variables LPI and GDP and thus that there exists a direct linear dependence. O...

The fact that the transport costs directly affect the countries’ economies all around the world and that the transport costs increase depending on the energy resources steered the countries into developing combined transport strategies that will decrease the transport costs. In this study, an assessment is made for the selection of locations of the logistics centers which will contribute to decreasing the transport costs, develop logistics sector strategies in Turkey, and thereby enable to identify the strategies for the fastest, safest, and the most economic transport utilizing integration of modes of transport with each other. Nonetheless, an integrated logistics model which includes freight capacity and selection of the optimum location is proposed for the efficient and useful logistics center. In this logistics model, a freight model, which is a criterion for optimal location selection, has been obtained by using regression analysis. According to this freight model, freight carr...
