“…These findings also confirm the importance of different forms of trade infrastructure in periods of crisis (Guerrero et al, 2022), which can thus be singled out as one of the key elements of the development policies in the countries of the CEE region. This highlights the growing importance of the entire logistics system, and trade infrastructure as one of its most important elements, which have a direct impact on trade and the entire business development within a country (Aćimović, Mijušković & Bugarčić, 2022).…”

“…Existing literature provides ample evidence of the importance of logistics for improving competitiveness and stimulating economic growth (D'Aleo and Sergi, 2017;Sergi et al, 2021), increasing the intensity of international trade (Hausman et al, 2013;Puertas et al, 2014;Marti et al, 2014;Gani, 2017;Bugarčić et al, 2020;Zaninović et al, 2020) and attracting investments (Luttermann et al, 2020;Bugarčić and Skvarciany, 2023). The importance of logistics is especially emphasized in crisis conditions, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic (Richey Jr. and Davis-Sramek, 2020), and as a factor of business development (Aćimović et al, 2022). The gap at the level of countries can be monitored through the Logistics Performance Index (LPI), created by the World Bank, which contains six key components of logistics quality, namely: customs, infrastructure, logistics services, timeliness, quality of international shipments and ability to track.…”

“…The aim of this paper is to empirically identify the potential contribution of logistics performance to increasing the domestic value-added share in exports. The motive for this assumption can be derived from previous findings that point to the positive impact of logistics on various segments of economic development, especially in terms of initiating overall international trade (Hausman et al, 2013;Gani, 2017;Çelebi, 2019;Bugarčić et al, 2020;Host et al, 2019), but also its contribution to improving global competitiveness and initiating economic growth and development (D' Aleo & Sergi, 2017), and as a factor of business development (Aćimović et al, 2022). For this reason, it is necessary to study the impact of logistics on the success of countries in participating in GVCs and creating DVA and initiating VA exports, since the flows of international trade depend significantly on different segments of international logistics.…”
