“…Another group of the literature (Xu and Wang, 2017; Qi et al ., 2020) analyses and confirm the spillover effects of logistics development. This implies that the development of logistics in an area can influence economic growth in the surrounding areas.…”

“…Also, because the logistics construct is measured using different indicators, there are few studies ( e.g . Munim and Schramm, 2018; Sharapiyeva et al ., 2019; Qi et al ., 2020) that analysed the economic contributions of different logistics indicators. Munim and Schramm (2018) use the six logistics performance indicators of the World Bank.…”

Despite macro‐economic predictions of economic catch‐up and steady‐state economic growth for all countries, in the long run, the gap between advanced and developing African countries is widening. This study investigates the association between logistics and economic growth in 32 African countries from 2007 to 2018. The results show that five of the six logistics performance indicators, under review, have weak positive economic growth effects, ranging between 0.01 and 0.03. Relatively high economic growth effects emerge from the “competence and quality of logistics” indicator. This research highlights that the growth potential in African countries depends on improvements in logistics performance and that prioritising investments to improve logistics efficiency can improve long term growth and development in Africa. Practitioners and policymakers can use the results of this study to target and prioritise specific logistics indicators based on the magnitude of their impact on economic growth.

“…e regional economic growth studied in this paper is the performance of the regional comprehensive strength and competitiveness. Referring to literature [38], per capita GDP is selected as the explained variable to measure the regional economic development index. Following literatures [39,40], explanatory variables are divided into core explanatory variables and control variables.…”

This paper evaluates the impact of the development of the logistics industry on economic growth based on panel data of 21 cities in Guangdong Province in China from 2007 to 2019. Using the overall entropy method, the comprehensive development index of the logistics industry is constructed to capture the performance of the logistics industry. On this basis, by using Moran’s index, we measure the spatial agglomeration effect of the logistics industry. Furthermore, direct and spatial spillover effects are also obtained. The estimation results of the spatial Durbin model (SDM) reveal that the elasticity coefficient of the effect of the comprehensive development level of the logistics industry on economic growth is 0.2590, which is significant at the 1% level. In addition, the coefficient of the direct effect of the logistics industry on local economic growth is 0.4074, and the coefficient of the spatial spillover effect on the economic growth of the surrounding areas is 0.3596, which are both significant at the 1% level. These results indicate that the development of the logistics industry can not only improve local economic growth but also promote the economic growth of the surrounding regions.

“…In order to realise the intensive operation of logistics, it is necessary to build logistics hubs to reduce costs. China is committed to building a 'country-region' two-level logistics hub, which is conducive to exerting the coordination function between hubs and improving logistics efficiency (Qi et al 2020). To this end, the National Development and Reform Commission launched a new round of construction of national logistics hubs (NDRC 2020).…”

The pandemic of COVID-19 has brought great challenges to the development of the world economy and has an unprecedented and inevitable impact on the logistics industry connecting various economic activities. In the context of the gradual alleviation of the COVID-19 outbreak in China, we observed five impacts on China's logistics industry, which are sharp drop in logistics demand, shortage of transportation capacity, disruption of logistics network, change of service mode, and increase in operating costs and number of lossmaking enterprises. When this invited paper was written, the outbreak in China has been effectively under controlled. In the post-COVID-19 era, under the three driving forces (i.e. the market, technology and policy), China's logistics industry will develop rapidly, leading to significant changes in five aspects: logistics demand, logistics supply, logistics infrastructure, logistics informatisation, and logistics industry development. The authors of this invited paper have been actively involved in the development of China's logistics industry in various capacities, governmental and non-governmental as well as in academia, and participated in a range of studies on the development trends, plans and policies of China's logistics industry. The authors have a profound understanding of the latest situation in the China's logistics industry and government initiatives.
