Convergence Analysis of Regional Logistics Efficiency in China

This paper uses the data envelopment analysis DEA method to measure the logistics efficiency of Chinas different regions from 2011 to 2018, and on this basis, tests the s convergence and ß convergence. The results show that there is no absolute convergence trend in the whole country and the eastern region, but there is absolute convergence in the central and western regions. After adding human capital, government intervention, opening up, industrial structure as the control variables, there are obvious signs of conditional convergence in the countrys overall logistics efficiency. The improvement of human capital and the reduction of government intervention play the most significant role in promoting the convergence of logistics efficiency. This shows that if appropriate policies are adopted the Central and Western regions can narrow the logistics efficiency gap with the Eastern regions.
