A Literature Review on Logistics Performance and International Trade

Abstract

In parallel with the increase in competition in international trade, the importance of the logistics sector, which plays an important role in the continuity of our commercial life, is increasing gradually, so the number of studies on logistics performance and trade is increasing day by day. The study aims to systematically examine the studies based on the relationship between logistics performance and international trade, evaluate the situation, and make suggestions to researchers who will work on the subject in the future. In the study, 33 articles that were reached as a result of scanning the Web of Science and Scopus databases were systematically examined in terms of various criteria. According to the findings obtained; In the studies, it was determined that mostly the effect of logistics performance on trade was discussed and this effect was generally measured with the gravity model, and the logistics performance index was frequently used in logistics performance measurement. In addition, it is noteworthy that the number of product and sector based studies are quite limited. Within the scope of the findings obtained in the study, suggestions for future studies are presented.

Transport Systems and their Impact on Trade Facilitation, Logistics Performance and Competitiveness: An Analytical Approach

“…In this context, particularly important are, WTO, WEF and WB. In analysing their annual reports and statements as well as specialized publications with a number of detailed indices it is possible in indirect way to identify factors that usually cause transport and transport-related barriers, and define activities necessary to their reduction or elimination (Bilgin and Sunaoglu, 2022).…”

“…In the first group of the published sources, the following publications deserve special attention: (Zaki, 2014;Beysenbaev and Dus, 2020;Coskun and Civelek, 2020;Yildirim and Mercangoz, 2020;Kesavan and Deif, 2021;Sénquiz-Díaz, 2021) as well as (Acar and Torgalöz, 2022;Bilgin, 2022;Bilgin and Sunaoglu, 2022).…”
